What the Fury v Joshua Documentary Covers
The BBC says the film tells the story of how two British heavyweights took very different routes to the top, and why their fight never happened when both were at their peak. It draws on people from inside both camps who watched the rivalry grow over more than ten years.
One of the most talked-about voices is Fury’s father, John. Speaking for the series before the fight was confirmed, he said “I hope it never happens,” explaining that he fears the loser may never get over the defeat. He added that he does not plan to attend.
