Book excerpt: Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank were so different it was amazing that they agreed to fight on that epic night at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre in November 1990. Benn was all about the glitz, glamour, expensive cars, designer clothes and all the trappings that came with the fame and fortune of being a world championship boxer. Eubank, in contrast, was a family man with modest tastes, and his stockbrokers voice was very much out of place in the fight business. The only things they had in common were their sport, weight, and a genuine disdain for the other. Eubank played his part of being the villain so well that the 12,000-plus tickets virtually sold themselves, and millions of people tuned in on terrestrial television to see Benn put this outspoken upstart back into his place. Benn and Eubank produced an electric and bruising encounter, and both the winner and loser left the ring with each other's respect.
