Frank Bruno, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank and Lennox Lewis. Four sporting heroes, driven by ambition in the ring and often forced to face even greater challenges outside it. This series focuses on the rise of each boxer from the late 1980s through to the early 2000s, charting their journeys and the prejudices they encountered; it highlights how the success they achieved was all the more remarkable because of the obstacles they overcame. Executive produced by Kevin Macdonald and the production company behind Bruno v Tyson, this series shines a light on the intense rivalry between heavyweights Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno, and middleweights Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn. A combination of archive footage and present-day interviews details the stakes at play for each in this ruthlessly competitive world.
An exclusive preview of the first two episodes of this upcoming Prime series, followed by a conversation with the creators and boxer Frank Bruno will take place on June 15th.
