A BOLTON club has scored a knockout and signed up former world boxing champ Nigel Benn.

He will be appearing as a DJ once a month from March at The Temple nightclub in St George's Street.

The Dark Destroyer, as he is known, has signed for the club for six months.

A delighted Mr John Musso, managing director of the Temple and next door Club Mondo, said: "This is a major coup for us.

"He is in great demand at the moment and we are delighted that he has agreed to come to Bolton."

Nigel has appeared at Bolton before - the last time being just before Christmas - and proved he is still a big hit.

The former WBC super-middleweight champion turned DJ after guesting on Top of the Pops.
