This is a natural rivalry. It stems from the rivalry between their fathers.

Benn-Eubank was just the biggest rivalry ever. I remember growing up, getting into boxing, I was probably eight years old when they fought the first time up the road from me at the NEC in Birmingham in 1990 and I just remember everybody talking about that fight.

They were both superstars and I guess because they had each other. You need a dance partner in boxing. They had each other and they couldn't have been more different personalities, different fighting styles, so they were literally the perfect rivals.
