McClellan participated in dog fighting. McClellan's trainer and family admitted that McClellan was involved with fighting pitbulls, and on one occasion had used tape to bind the jaws of a Labrador shut before allowing his pet pit bull "Deuce" to kill it. Strange case of karma i'm afraid anyone that does that to a poor defenceless dog deserves what ever comes there way

I re-watch the fight all the time. I've never seen a more complete destruction of a boxer's will and confidence to win over the course of 10 rounds. What a complete warrior Benn was.

Nigel Benn got put on his arse against mcelellan, got bashed to fcuk..... but still managed to get back into the fight and win it. Warrior is an understatement.

Threatens to put them in a wheelchair then ends up in one ! Be careful what you say !

Nigel Benn versus Gerald McCallum is one of the only four fights, I ever bought a ringside ticket for . What are savage fight. I remember telling my father the next day on the phone that when the punches landed it sounded a bit like a football be kicked against a brick wall. Great interview by the way .

I could listen to this guy all day, these are great stories.

Brilliant podcast Liam, what a breath of fresh air it is listening to Peter a man who says it as it is , top man

no messing, says how it is..great stuff peter

Benn v McClellan was an absolute war, after Nigel went through the ropes early on I think most thought it was curtains after that, but what a scrap it turned out to be. Cheers for this interview, good stuff! 🥊

Great interview, nice to hear a straight talking no nonsense man, 🙏

Benn looked juiced up was out on his feet afew times and kept coming back like Michael myers😄

Best fight from a British fighter. It was truly an electrifying night that hasn’t been matched since.

Really enjoyed this Liam. Ambrose Mendy said Nigel was offered the Roy Jones fight and Ambrose said to Nigel "you can't beat this fella Nige".. Nigel said "for 4 million quid he can have my title.😂

Another great interview, thank you.

I would love to attend an event and have a meal and listen to this guy talk as it sounds very interesting

I’ve been waiting for this to drop

Great fights back then. The best thing liam we heard the 100% truth. Peter was in the heart of it. No beter man to tell us 👍

What a mad world to be in.

Ben didn’t give blood or piss because he was juiced to the gills

What an interesting, honest guy. Really enjoyed this. Best of health Peter🙂👍

could listen to him talk all day. a proper character

Brilliant interview, I've always wanted to hear the background story to that fight from the people that were there, superb.

Brilliant production Liam thank you so much for giving us a wonderful interview with Peter ...what a brilliant gentleman and very smart too ...please keep up the good work

Brilliant interview,thanks 👍

Absolute quality Peter tells it straight 👌

Now theres a man who says it as he sees it, cant argue with that. Respect

If he really has tapes of Mclellan saying that then he should release them. It may be in bad taste, but that's a piece of history.

Brilliant interview you dont hear about this side of boxing. Great man Peter.

Very interesting interview, Lovd watching Benn, One of the very few fighters that gave you a buzz of excitement with anticipation knowing that he was a fearless KO merchant that wasn't interested in scoring points. Seen the McClellan fight several times, absoltely epic , despicable person but wouldnt wish what happened to him, Two great great fighters both in their prime. Would like to see those press conference CD's uploaded.

Incredibly that very night I had a bad seizure in a London filling station and ended up in the Royal London and upon my discharge I walked straight into the sea of media that awaited news on McClellan who'd been taken there after the fight. Sadly memorable evening for the both of us. Thanks again Liam 👍

Fascinating stuff, well done lads.

Benn vs McClellan one of my favourite fights of all time.

I remeber all these years - great interview - I remeber McCllellan threatneing Nigels Dad - and he wanted to Kill Benn - but it fired up Benn even more. Benns Corner were amazing that night to be fair. And the end of the 1st round Benn came back to his corner after taking a hammering and they say Benn down and told him McCllellan is fucked and blown himself out and go out there and dish it back on him and Benn came out the 2nd round and was a different animal totally.

Well done Liam...👍 keep em coming...👏👏👏👏

Absolutely brilliant

Peter seems the type off manager you want..I don't see an ounce off slippery in him and the fact he made that decision without asking nigel before the fight n just handled the situation n got it all done n dusted before telling nigel then when told him nigel said right move..spot on..👍

Another true no holds bar vid .awesome. class

This is very good bud, well done

I bet on Benn to win the Mclelland fight. There is a difference between a Bully and man fighting for pride

Nigel is a fairly serious Christian now , so that would have made him realise he had to help Maclellan , not just self interest

I like Pete’s honesty and his stories are brilliant.. slimy Hearn his sons just like him they think everyone is daft

Great video .I like this geyser very clever bloke.❤👍

Brilliant insight into the so called Noble Art in and out the ring....

Wow, Dennie Mancini said all of this to me as well

straight talking,great interview.

I was a young offender and had backed my canteen on Nigel Benn winning We only had the radio to listen to it and even me as a Ben supporter I couldn’t believe that he could come back from being punched out the ring in the second round to win it wasn’t until the devastating effects of the fight on Gerald after That I could 100% except I’ve just probably just heard the greatest comeback in history

Benn vs McClellan I was there 7 rows back incredible energy at that fight it was electric ⚡⚡⚡⚡

Great video

Brilliant Pete well said say as it is

Sometimes bad people get what they deserve, McClellan got it as far as I’m concerned.

Barry Hearn the snake.If Benn won that it would have allowed Eubank to keep the WBO because he didnt pay the sanctioning fees.And theres Eubank always wittering on about the snakes in the sport when Hearn his promoter was trying to do the snide tricks for him.Glad they got Warren in because the fight was sorted and i got to see it after paying my £50. I saw a video with Gary Stretch who fought Eubank saying he was promised £1 million to fight Eubank for the title.Even if he lost which he did Hearn only paid him £20,000.If Stretch wasnt getting £1 miliion he should have been paid way more than 20 grand.Barry Hearn was really the biggest snake in British boxing.

Cant we see the full interview pleas this man’s the fukn bizzzzzz

This was when boxing was on regular TV. I remember watching at home and was so moved by what i had just seen i rushed out to the pub down the road for a couple of pints before they called lasg orders to calm myself down.

Peter is a true Boxing great. And a nice fella too.

Could of listened to a couple more hours of that. Yes karma's a cruel thing😂😂

I was banged up with Dave ,,, gentlemen,, Pete and the whole family are old school gentlemen

Most terrifying fight I've ever witnessed.

Most brutal fight i ever watched live, boxing these days is all about verbals & that bloody gypsy queen ey !

Those press conferences need to be seen by the public but Defreitas told me they are copyrighted, wish I could get a copy

Its nice to hear the other side just goes to show how these promoters try to screw the fighters I remember the fight it was so ruthless and vicious it was one of the best raw fights ever

he was brought over to beat benn, i loved the fact benn smashed him, mcclellan got what he deserved they thought was a easy touch big mistake

taking drugs is one thing but animal cruelty and dog fighting is another , i have no time for that shit and to think that mclellans family wanted to sue benn for what happened after what he said before the fight its a disgrace and i have respect for benn in defeating that scumbag , he deserves the brain damage he received , same as wilder saying that he wanted to kill fury in the ring ? he should not be allowed to fight after saying those things

Id like to see Benn McClellan pre fight press conference if Peter has them on CD

A few weeks after the fight I was speaking with Dennie Mancini in Lonsdale shop, Beak Street, London.. Mancini couldn't stand Mccelllan.. RIP Dennie Mancini..

Brutal fight watched it live

I was there for this fight, what a war it was, the whole place was electric

I bet on Nigel. Had a row in the bookies with a punter when I was asking prices 😂

Is there any chance you could upload press conference footage talked about In this interview ? If love to see it as there's not much footage of the build up to this fight. Would be appreciated. Thanks

What a man ! Screw mclennan

The middleweight divisions,UK & USA at that time were the best.. Hearns,,duran,,hagler & sugar Ray brilliant fights...Benn,,Eubanks,,watson,,Collins,,were too..Peter very knowledgeable with boxing and a nice fella..Our boxing not the same dad to say,it needs help? Thanks Liam Respects B,S3

Love ure content

You think you're Tough. Nigel KNOWS he's Tough 😂

I wish he was my manager. Top bloke

McKlellen was vicious in the ring and out and a top level fighter. I was aware of the fact he taped a labradors snout shut so his pitbull could kill it but i had no idea of the wheelchair threats he made mentioned here. But if he and Watson (Also a great fighter) hadnt been injured, that division and that era might have been looked back upon very differently

That was a fight to the death still shocks me today. Ilford palais working as a doorman back in the day met Nige lovely geez my favourite fighter such heart ex squaddie a credit to our country

Brendan Ingle ' There was violence in the air that night '

Once I found out about McClelland and what he did with the dog fighting! And having dogs jaws bound so they couldn’t fight back! I couldn’t give a shit how it ended for him now! Karma payed the c*nt back big time for that.

They were both going in to take each others heads off they werent looking to win on points...great fight just a pity what happened to Gerald..terrible incident the documentary where nigel went to visit him was heartbreaking when he started crying i cried too...

No Bollox Straight interview...Nice one...

Surely 1 ov the most brutal fights in boxing history nigel neva know wen he was beat that night as for mcellan karma a bitch 😊

Interesting bloke that Defreitas certainly sounds believable.

In the seventies we had the heavyweight division as good as it was ever going to be and from the late eighties to the mid nineties it was the middleweights. Since then, all we've had is businessmen.

It was easily the most brutal boxing match I've ever seen in my life, from beginning to end they went for each other relentlesly. After the fight was over, and you could see Benn was upset, not because of what had happned to McClellan, but because they'd expected Benn to be beaten to a pulp by this guy. He was saying how they bought McClellan over "to beat me up". I think that day Benn was just motivated by fury and the desire to show them that he wasnt a punk to use , to be a notch on a someone elses belt. Instead, Benn beat McClellan up. I have to be honest I was a massive Nigel Benn fan so I was pissed off at the way they were just expecting him to be a sacrificial lamb for McClellan.

Nigel was a warrior, a inspirational, he truely was a god in boxing , greatest fight ever , pity benn couldnt get over it

When is part 4 Pete

Great Channel my friend from the Birthplace of Football and a super Boxing 🥊 city of SHEFFIELD Englands 4th Largest city of Steel Sheffield Wednesday fc - Hillsborough

Years ago we was nigel Ben's security he released a record it was at hmv in Manchester

I hope there's a lab in heaven looking down at that waste of skin in his wheelchair.

PLEASE release the press conferences!!!!

Remember watching that fight Benn going out through the ropes then coming back in it was some battle won of the best fights I've ever seen but won of the saddest just goes to show if you don't have a moral compass how carma can catch up with you mc clellan was a bad basturd.

I do like straight talkers, sadly its something of a rarity now days.

This was back when you get the best boxers in the division to fight each other. In some divisions you can’t even get any of the top 5 let alone top 2 to agree to fight each other. Benn’s problem was he could be inconsistent but when he was on it he was great.

Love to see Gerald in the state he is in now, so pleased with the result.

He's a horrible chap (Gerald, not Peter).

Good stuff but why not just put out the whole interview/chat

always had a lot of time for benn.

Dunno why Peter said this was his first interview in 27 years? He literally did two last year which are on KZfaq if you just search his name

Hell no,steroids from the Essex boys for Nigel makes it a non event and a criminal offense with the genuine headbutt.

Mc was a product of his environment, he had to be ruthless to survive

Isn't this the fight mcclellan, s team said Benn was on drugs? Found a trace of blood they had tested etc?
