BBC One announces Anthony Joshua: The Fight Of My Life documentary

September 28, 2017 - Staff

The BBC has announced the upcoming broadcast of Anthony Joshua – an exclusive documentary that brings “extraordinary insight into one of Britain’s major sporting superstars” in the build up to the Joshua v Klitschko world title fight.

The film tells the story of the final hours leading up to the fight as Anthony says farewell to his family and friends.

It includes intimate insight into the young champion at home the night before the fight and in his dressing room as the clock ticks down to the opening bell and includes “a dramatic extended sequence” featuring all the key action from the fight along with Anthony’s own fascinating narration and analysis of the biggest test of his career so far.

Alison Kirkham, Controller of Factual Commissioning, said: “This revealing documentary gives viewers an extraordinary insight into Anthony’s biggest fight to date and the physical and mental preparation it took to take on a world champion – and win.

“Having followed his rise to the top in our two previous films, this new documentary gives a unique perspective on his victory through Anthony’s post-fight analysis.

“It’s the perfect reminder of why he’s such an exciting fighter as he prepares to take to the ring once more.”

Tony Pastor, Executive Producer, Goalhanger Films, added: “I can’t remember a more talked about sports event in recent times. It was like watching Rocky but for real.

“In this film Anthony explains what really happened inside that ring and it makes truly compelling viewing.”

Anthony Joshua will defend his world title belts in Cardiff against Bulgarian challenger Kubrat Pulev on 28 October. The Fight of My Life will be shown on BBC One on Wednesday 18 October at 10.40pm.
