Champions Forever in August

12 August 2009

Arguably the most insightful boxing documentary ever made, we follow the careers of the 5 greatest boxers of all time. This documentary allows us into the only interview that all 5 Boxing legends have ever attended together.

Champions Forever explores the real men behind the legends and uncovers the hidden anguish and secret passions that drove them to greatness. Here they talk about themselves and each other with surprising candour as they discuss the highs and lows both in and out of the ring. The film includes famous moments from dozens of their greatest bouts, including "The Fight of the Century" (Ali vs. Frazier, 1971), "The Rumble in the Jungle" (Ali vs. Foreman, 1974), the confrontations between Foreman and Norton (1974), Frazier and Foreman (1975) and Ali's tragic loss to Holmes in 1980.

Accompanied by a fine soundtrack and packed with powerful exclusive fight footage, Champions Forever is an exciting, emotional odyssey through the awesome careers of five bigger-than-life heroes who, for fans of the sport, will always be Champions Forever.

Champions Forever will be released on UK DVD on 24th August 2009 by Arrow Films at the RRP of £12.99. Labelled a Special Collectors Edition, the disc includes 28 minutes of never before seen footage of Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes and Norton.
