Get involved TWO all-time boxing greats are on their way to the Shildon Sunnydale Leisure Centre.
Celtic Warrior Steve Collins and the Dark Destroyer Nigel Benn will appear on Friday, May 22 in an event to help raise money for Shildon ABC. Both were world super middleweight champions of course. Indeed, Collins effectively ended the career of Benn when in 1996 he beat him twice in four and six rounds. Benn retired shortly afterwards, bringing to an end a glittering career which saw him lose only five bouts out of 42. Collins quit two years later after winning 15 consecutive fights bringing his overall total to three defeats in 39 pro scraps.
