Nigel Benn vs. Chris Eubank out. The British public began to demand the fight to be made. Benn, having lost to Michael Watson, began to rebuild in America, winning the WBO middleweight title by knocking out Doug DeWitt. He then savaged Iran Barkley within one round in his first defence. Benn then agreed to meet Eubank with his title on the line, which set up the first fight. A rematch was held three years later. The Hate Game, a book documenting this boxing rivalry, written by Ben Dirs was published in 2013. The Benn entourage began plotting ways to demoralise Eubank and 'even things up'.
