    This isn't really 'signal theft' as it's not available anywhere and nobody's making any money from it. It's more a fascinating, historical document that people here would be interested in.

    'The Undisputed Truth' was a behind-the-scenes BBC2 documentary about the build-up and preparations for Lewis-Holyfield I (the infamous one). It was shown a little while after the fight itself occurred, but rarely since.

    Featuring a cast including: Lewis, Holyfield, Don King, Emmanuel Steward, Naseem Hamed, Frank Maloney, Colin Hart and Jeremy Williams, amongst others, it's an interesting look at what happens in training camp in the build-up to a mega-fight. Some of the older hands will already have seen it, particularly the last five minutes, but it's a valuable historical document of the era and worth watching.

    Cheers, watching this now. I've seen bits of it, but never all the way through!

    I didn't upload it, but I did find it the other night when looking for footage of the HBO special that was shown afterwards (which I failed to find) and thought others would be interested. I saw it when it was first broadcast, but haven't even seen it listed since.

    I don't know. You kind of end up having a sense of awe / admiration for someone's who's capable of having that much of a brass neck and not giving a ****. Almost like he's gone so far through 'un-****ing-believable' that he's come out the other side.

    Having said that: Yeah, absolutely. "Don King is one sheisty *******" is the main thing I took from it, too.
