Nigel Benn writes boxing memoir about violence, ambition and the consequences of a career built around an unusually aggressive fighting style. The Dark Destroyer recounts his early life, army service, rapid rise through professional boxing and major bouts including his rivalry with Chris Eubank and the 1995 fight with Gerald McClellan. The memoir also addresses relationships, life after retirement and his attempts to understand the damage created by both boxing and his own behaviour outside the ring. Benn’s writing is blunt, candid and emotionally direct rather than polished or analytical. It is a strong route into British boxing autobiography, sports memoir about retirement and first-person accounts of the personal cost of combat sports. Read more Less
