Some boxing aficionados on here...thought about Benn returning to the ring at 55?

I know Jack about boxing, but this seems extremely odd for someone who has been out of ring for best part of 23 years... he's no spring chicken!

This is about as sensible as Rossi's dad returning to GP. He's going to get hammered if he actually fights anyone decent.
Are we going to have Benn vs Eubank Jr. or something?

Part of me says 'if he's fit enough and he wants to' its his call. Doesn't feel right though.
Rugby have veteran games, which I think are a bit less intense but I can't see an 'over 35' category in boxing.
I can see a Benn v Eubank fight taking place but would rather not.

It is against Bika who only stopped being a competitive world level boxer two years ago. Plus Bika is tough, dirty and very strong. Likes to use his head as a fist.
It's a stupid idea and is largely being frowned on by most in boxing. BIBA are sanctioning it apparently. They were once the Malta boxing organisation despite having no connection with Malta. The guy behind them was a bit of an odd fellow. Had an Italian name. Used to do a bit of press for lower level boxers.
No idea if this will actually happen or just be a glorified sparring session. I'm pretty sure they did something similar before as they both reside in Australia.

No idea? I thought Collins was trying to get licensed again a couple of years back to get a fight with Roy Jones Jnr. It was in the news for a few months then faded away.
