Looks more like a solid 5'9 175cm than a 5'9.25 176cm.

How tall would you guess his son Conor ?
I could see around 5'8" for him he looks a bit shorter than his dad.

Ha ha! Nigel was called 'The Dark Destroyer' long before Shaun Wallace from 'The Chase'. Well, I had no idea about that!
Chaser Shaun is nearly 6" taller than Nigel - and has the sharpest of brains. Nigel, on the other hand, excels at what he's famous for - boxing.
🥊💪🏿 5ft9.25. 💪🏿🥊

Nigel has hardly aged a day, so I doubt he's lost much height at all. He gets 5ft9.25 from me. 💪🥊🥊

Rob I am a legit 176cm and my brother is a little bit taller (like around 1cm) than you and there is more difference between my brother and me than between you and Nigel . I highly doubt he is 176cm . he rather seems to be 174.5cm or something like that which is basically about the height of my brother. of course it could look like this because of the picture / angle but you both look very close heightwise so how can he be 176cm ? there is no way
what do you think ?

Given that his head is completely shaved and he looks like he's slouching I'll give him 5'9" max.

is 175cm possible rob ? he somehow doesnt look that much taller than you and doesnt give off a 176cm vibe in general either

Editor Rob it is quite possible, though at most 1 inch between eubank and benn I'd say...

Was probably about 1cm taller at his prime. So his "about 5'10" claim" was likely accurate in the past.

Listed at 5"9.5 on boxrec very possible hes lost a quarter inch due to wear and tear from training all those years. Would you agree Rob?

I saw him box Nicky Piper back in the 90s. Piper looks a legit 6'3" guy, I've got his autograph. Nigel from what I remember looked average yeah 5'9"-5'10" range and stocky.
