What was the name of this boxing documentray?

Post by milpool »

Does anyone remember a documentary which featured Lee Swaby, Femi Fehintola and others? I'm not sure if it was a one off or if there were numerous episodes.

If so, what was it called and is it on YouTube?

What year was it, old boy? Any other fighters you can think of that it featured, which channel was it on etc? The more clues you give, the more likely we can find it :TU:

I think Mark Krence was on it and I’m sure it was on ITV. I think it was aired in about 2004.
It focused on the boxers outside the ring because we got to meet Femi Fehintola’s bird, who was broad Yorkshire and she sat at ringside shouting ‘“come on Femmer”...

It showed backstage at a show when the boxers were getting changed in a big room and Wayne Rigby was complaining that he was a former world champion and he had been reduced to that.

That’s about as much as I remember of it...!

Edit - Fight Night Roar rings a bell...

This is the documentary on Femi's Dad, there's a few bits with Femi in it, watch from 21 minutes for a good bit about Femi and his Dad.
Full respect to Femi for getting himself to British level after coming through all of that, hope he is doing ok nowadays.
