CHRIS EUBANKS and Nigel Benn fought so hard that he had to weed BLOOD for a whole week. He also needed help in the shower.
One of the most famous rivalries in boxing history was shared by British boxing legends.

Nearly 30 years later, their family feud will be rekindled when their sons, Chris Jr. and Conor, clash in a catchweight match.
Ronnie Davies, the trainer who mentors Eubank Jr, will play a part in both the fathers' and sons’ fights.
He admits that he didn't want Eubank to face his great rival because of the brutal nature of their first fight.
SunSport spoke with Davies: "I didn’t want him fighting Benn again. It was too brutal."
"It was terrible, I was in the corner not far away and could feel the punches coming.
"They were talking to one another and said, 'Is this all you have? You're punching like you're a girl.
They were extremely hard shots. Eubank was still in shock the next day, so I had to get him up and take him to the shower. He was a weeder for over a week.
In 1990, Eubank beat Benn in round nine. They drew three more years later.
Fast three decades later, their sons are preparing to make up the trio bout that never was.
They will meet in a 157lb catchweight clash. This means that Benn is up from 147lb, and Eubank Jr is down from 160lb.
Even Davies, who was present the day Eubank's oldest was born, is shocked that the fight for our ages has been officially signed.
He stated, "I never imagined the sons would be fighting. It's incredible." It had to happen.
"It's going to be a great fight. Great fight for the public. Good for them."
