Four Kings: Eubank, Benn, Bruno and Lewis on British boxing’s golden age

Four Kings, a four-part documentary on Channel 4, features Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Frank Bruno and Lennox Lewis speaking frankly about the golden age of British boxing. It is scheduled for 10pm.

Across a week in 1993, the four men say, half a billion people tuned in to watch them fight for the biggest honours in boxing.

The series covers both the gory and the glorious: the listings note tongue gashes and detached retinas, as well as the rivalries and the racism of the time. The film also includes surprisingly heavy moments as the boxers reflect on what it all meant.

As a four-part documentary, Four Kings continues to explore these themes through the testimony of the four fighters and their recollections of that period in British boxing.
