Fury v Joshua: 1. They’re Not the Same

Available for over a year

In the first episode of this four-part series, Anna Woolhouse and Steve Bunce revisit the origins of boxing's defining rivalry. It begins with a chance sparring session between a young Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua at Finchley ABC in 2010, before following their very different paths to the top of the heavyweight division. From Joshua's rapid rise from novice boxer to Olympic champion, to Fury's unconventional journey from travelling fighting family to world champion, this is the story of two men heading towards the same destination by completely different routes. Two future superstars. One rivalry in the making.
