    Should be good, released today on Amazon Prime Video.

    Unprecedented access into the lives of four of Britain's best boxers: Frank Bruno, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank and Lennox Lewis. The series explores how the men overcame racial prejudice whilst breaking down barriers for black British athletes, as they transitioned into the mainstream media. The heated rivalries between the boxers turned nasty as half a billion people tuned in to see them settle their differences in the ring in the biggest week in British boxing history. An intimate insight into the boxers' lives reveal how they battled their own demons, throughout their careers and in retirement, and their struggles with mental health issues and the cost of the sacrifices made in order to create a legacy and pave the way and for those who follow in their footsteps.

    There’s only so many times we need documentaries and interviews with the same old boxers. Load of waffle.

    There’s a lot of archive footage that I bet hasn’t been since it was first broadcast. They’ve done a really good job with this.

    Clear to see that Bruno still fosters hate towards Lewis for his comments during their pomp

    If only Lewis had been a bit more...... sympathetic, or even apologised to Frank I could warm to him a bit more.....


    But he didn't.


    Great doco though

    Decent first episode. makes you realise the characters that were around back then. this was a good time to be around as a boxing fan. Lewis was doing quite well at first saying he looked up to Frank, but then basically said he didn't want to be a loser like him :lol:

    It was a great time looking back and I was a kid so loved it. I think Lewis was just being truthful and tbf he was Olympic champ and had already just destroyed the US future champion in Bowe. I know timescales are slightly out, but he most likely thought Bowe would have comfortably beaten Frank even before he beat Holyfield for the title and didn’t see him as a big threat to himself.

    Wish they had come up with an original title for it though.
