Boxing Icon Nigel Benn will appear in Swindon at the MECA on Saturday 9th November!

The man known as “The Dark Destroyer”, takes to the stage to tell the story of his life and his iconic career. 

From serving in the Army, to winning the WBO and WBC World Championships, Nigel’s story is one of inspiration, determination and an unwavering dedication to his craft. Involved in 16 electric World Title fights, winning 11, drawing 1, and stopping 8 of those opponents inside the distance.  Nigel fully embodied the reason boxing fans love the sport so much. All-out action, world class skill, and tenacious spirit.

Nigel will take us through what life is like as the champion of the world, giving guests an insight into what it feels like to sit at the top of the tree in one of the world’s toughest sports. Guests also have the pleasure of hearing what Nigel’s thoughts are on the current landscape of boxing, and have the opportunity to ask him anything you like in a live Q&A.
