From Circus to Cult Status? Has Misfits Boxing Just Outsmarted the Entire Industry?

A RIVALRY REBORN - CHRIS EUBANK JR VS CONOR BENN

As far as rivalries go, they don’t get much bigger than Chris Eubank Sr vs Nigel Benn. Two fights with three years between them—the thought of a domestic rivalry being bigger than this one, at the time, was a crazy suggestion.
