BBC One to air Anthony Joshua documentary

BBC One is to bring an extraordinary insight into one of Britain’s major sporting superstars to screen with a forty minute documentary feature.

“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.” – Alison Kirkham, Controller of Factual Commissioning

The documentary, Anthony Joshua: The Fight Of My Life, covers the final days before one of the biggest fights in recent history – the Joshua v Klitschko world title knockabout -going behind the action with Anthony.

The film contains intimate insight into the build-up to the bout – from the young champ’s home life on the evening before to his dressing room as the clock ticks down to the opening bell. The Goalhanger Films production will also include a dramatic extended sequence featuring all the key action from the fight along with Anthony’s own fascinating analysis as he rises to the pinnacle of boxing’s most dangerous division.

Anthony will defend his world title belts in Cardiff against Bulgarian challenger Kubrat Pulev on the 28 October. The 40 minute documentary, Anthony Joshua: The Fight of My Life will be shown on BBC One on Wednesday 18 October at 10.40pm.

“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.” – Tony Pastor, Executive Producer, Goalhanger Films
