Fueled by an impoverished childhood, George Foreman channeled his anger into becoming an Olympic Gold medalist and World Heavyweight Champion, followed by a near-death experience that took him from the boxing ring to the pulpit. But when he sees his community struggling spiritually and financially, Foreman returns to the ring and makes history by reclaiming his title, becoming the oldest and most improbable World Heavyweight Boxing Champion ever.

WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe's 12 round dismantling of American macho man Jeff Lacy will live long in the memory. Calzaghe was sensational, with the bewildering hand speed that is his trademark, sending his confused and battered rival into retreat. Lacy, who arrived with the most fearsome reputation, was too busy defending himself to throw much back. The Welshman won every round, connecting, incredibly, with over one thousand punches! Promoter Frank Warren had billed the fight as 'Judgement Day' and after this sublime boxing masterclass the judgement is surely that all-conquering Calzaghe is one of Britain's best ever.

Co-directed by Gentry Kirby and Erin Leyden, “Tommy” examines Morrison’s remarkable rise to the spotlight, followed by a stunning, confounding, and ultimately tragic fall. He was one of the best heavyweights of his time; a handsome, charming, yet unsettled young star. Born into a troubled family in America’s heartland, Morrison’s initial emergence as a fighter was bolstered by a starring role in “Rocky V.” A few years later he beat George Foreman for the WBO heavyweight title, and seemed primed for more stardom, even in the face of blown opportunities and upset losses. But everything changed in early 1996 when he tested positive for HIV, abruptly forcing him into retirement at age 27. From there, Morrison’s life spiraled further and further downward, plagued by drug problems, jail time, and an eventual denial that he had the virus at all.
