🪖 Battle of Britain 🇬🇧Herbie Hide vs Michael Bentt | FULL FIGHT | WBO Heavyweight Title | Sky Sports
Michael Bentt 11–1 (6 KO) vs. Herbie Hide 25–0 (24 KO) was a professional boxing match contested on 19 March 1994, for the WBO heavyweight title.
Bentt, in only his 12th professional fight and virtually unknown, scored an upset first-round knockout victory over the heavily favored Tommy Morrison, making him the new WBO heavyweight champion in the process. Bentt’s first defence was announced to take place in London. Bentt who had been born in London but raised in New York City championed his British heritage exclaiming to be as British as “Bruno, Lewis or Thatcher.” Bentt and his team narrowed his potential opponents to British fighters Lennox Lewis and Herbie Hide, with Bentt also receiving a big money offer to face George Foreman. While Bentt stated he preferred Foreman or Lewis, he was unable to reach an agreement with either fighter and Hide was ultimately picked as his opponent.
A memorable altercation occurred two months before the fight. On 10 January 1994, Bentt and Hide were at a press conference at the Sheraton Park Tower Hotel in London to promote the fight. Hide, who had taken exception to Bentt calling himself British, caused an uproar when he knocked a baseball cap off Bentt’s head, leading to Bentt to retaliate by throwing a punch that sent Hide down. Hide and Bentt then wrestled each other in a puddle before they were broken up. Hide complained to the media afterward “It goes to show what hooligans we have in boxing. He’s a nut. He can’t take criticism. He hit me for no reason at all.” Said Bentt about the incident “He compromised my manhood. No man is going to lay his hands on me. I don’t regret it. I’m a man first and a boxer second. Nobody attempts to belittle me.” Two days later, Bentt had a change of heart and apologized for his role in the brawl stating “I want to apologize this morning to all the people of Britain. I let boxing down. I let myself down. I let my faith down because of my behaviour with Herbie Hide. “All I remember is him coming at me. He pulled my Millwall cap off, but I thought he was about to attack me. That’s why I hit out. There was no malice, there was nothing personal about it at all.” Because of the brawl, both Bentt and Hide were fined $14,800 by the British Boxing Board of Control.

🥊The SHOCKING END to Eubank vs Watson II | Last 2 Rounds in Full | FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS | British Boxing
Chris Eubank vs. Michael Watson II, fought on September 21, 1991, at White Hart Lane in London, is remembered as one of the most dramatic and ultimately tragic bouts in British boxing history.
Contested for the vacant WBO Super-Middleweight Championship, the rematch followed a highly controversial majority decision victory for Eubank just three months prior.
Moving up a weight class, Michael Watson completely outboxed Eubank for the vast majority of the fight, controlling the pace and leading comfortably on all three judges’ scorecards.
In the 11th round, Watson knocked Eubank down with a powerful overhand right and it appeared the Londoner was moments away from winning the world title, and a much deserved victory against the Brighton man. But, having managed to beat the count, Eubank connected with a devastating uppercut to all-but-end the contest.
Michael, shockingly, was allowed to continue into the 12th and rose from his corner visibly dazed and on shaky legs. with the referee trying to get the two to touch gloves; the pair were then waved on with a Eubank flurry ending the bout just 29 seconds into the final round.
In the seconds following the stoppage, Watson collapsed with no paramedics – or oxygen – at White Hart Lane, with a half hour wait before arriving at the hospital.
The 26-year-old spent 40 days in a coma and underwent SIX life-saving brain surgeries as he miraculously survived, with permanent brain-damage and partial paralysis the long-term effects.
The tragedy revolutionised ringside medical care in British boxing. The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) mandated that standard protocols must include a team of doctors, an anesthetist, an oxygen supply, and an ambulance parked on-site at every professional event, saving countless lives in subsequent decades.
Watson sued the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) for negligence and won damages reputedly of around £1 million. The High Court ruled that the BBBoC was responsible for medical provision at a fight and that administering oxygen and resuscitation on site would have made a considerable difference to Watson’s outcome. Mr Justice Kennedy said that the board was “in breach of its duty to Mr Watson”.
The judge said that this was “sadly a long way short of the damages that [Watson] would have received had the defendants had the money or had they been insured”.
