British boxing and the super middleweight division have become synonymous with one another since the dizzy heights of 1993, when over 40,000 people filled Manchester United's Old Trafford football stadium to watch Nigel Benn attempt to settle a score against archrival Chris Eubank. That night, which was was more memorable for the occasion rather than the fight, opened up a path for British bashers like Robin Reid, Joe Calzaghe, Richie Woodhall and Glenn Catley to become world champions and cement Great Britain's place as one of the leading lights in a division that exploded into life in the 1990s.
