The Battle for Britain
The popularity of boxing in Britain is through the roof. But a shocking moment in-ring makes the world stop and contemplate. As the dust settles, the appetite for fighting is as strong as ever, with the biggest week in the domestic calendar approaching; Benn vs Eubank & Lewis vs Bruno. The fights will attract millions globally, but will injury jeopardise the bouts?
Off the Ropes
Bruno, Benn, Eubank and Lewis have out British boxing at the top of the world stage but personally they pay the price. Lewis suffers a maiden defeat, Eubank is forced into retirement after successive crushing defeats, Benn's life becomes plagued by crime, drugs and adultery whilst Bruno's mental health issues worsen.
Echoes of the Past
With Bruno, Benn & Eubank in retirement, Lewis is the only man left fighting. He sees a chance to make history and, if successful, become Britain's first Undisputed champion. Without these four fighters, boxing wouldn't be what it is today. They sacrificed everything to prove their worthiness and in the process paved the way for future generations.
