LONDON - Former middleweight boxing champion Nigel Benn is returning to the ring at the age of 55 for a one-off fight, saying he wants"closure" on a career blighted by drug abuse, depression and the death of his brother.
"I feel the time is right now. People may say, 'You're 55.' It's nothing to do with age," Benn said."I'm fitter now than when I was world champion. It's not the Dark Destroyer because everything synonymous with that name is not who I am. Now it's Nigel 'Benjamin Button' Benn - the older I get, the fitter I am and I 100 per cent mean that. I am so fit.
