Who is Harley Benn?
Harley was conceived after Nigel, 57, had an affair with his mum Lisa Andrews while going through IVF with second wife Carolyne.
Carolyne was still in the dark over the situation when she gave birth to twins Conor and India, just days after Harley was born.
Former Middleweight World Champion Nigel refused to accept that he was Harley's father until a paternity test proved so.
Harley is a boxer himself, currently boasting a record of nine bouts, eight victories and one defeat.
He reportedly has a strained relationship with father Nigel and half-brother Conor, another member of the Benn family who is aiming to have huge success in the ring.
