In some recent boxing news, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno will feature in a four-part documentary entitled ‘Four Kings’ to look back on their careers.

The series will centre on the rise of the four fighters from their humble beginnings to become Britain’s most iconic boxers. And this was summed up when all four were engaged in some of the biggest rivalries that the country had ever seen.

Eubank and Benn’s rivalry was played out in the two fights between them. The first saw Eubank secure a late stoppage to become the WBO middleweight champion. In the rematch, the result was a draw: 115-113, 114-113 and 114-114.

As such, Eubank kept his WBO tile, while Benn did the same with his WBC belt which he had won after beating Mauro Galvano.

And that rivalry could see their sons, Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn face each other. As for the Lewis and Bruno rivalry, the former stopped the latter in the seventh round to retain his WBC heavyweight title.

Key Quotes

“The time when these four legends ruled the world of boxing was a golden era for British sport, and so to bring them all together to reveal their soaring highs and emotional lows in a premium box set is a blessing. Working with Kevin MacDonald to mentor new talent on a major project has been brilliant, thanks to Amazon for supporting us all the way,” Rick Murray, (CEO Workerbee Group)

Bruno’s Quotes

“I was delighted and honoured to be part of this film. This period of time in boxing history was a special time and each of the 4 individual stories interwoven was part of World Boxing folklore. Each of us had our own “character” in and out of the ring which kept the boxing and non-boxing fans hooked around the TV or desperate to get actual tickets for the fights. The boxing world has moved on some say for the better but this is a unique story. If it was fiction it would be a best seller. Will we see four boxers like us boxing in the same period ever again? I doubt it,” Bruno

Lewis’ Quotes

“It is pretty special to have been on this journey through the 80s and 90s, and a privilege to share the story with Frank, Nigel & Chris on screen. Whilst we had our own lanes, our own processes and experiences, we had the combined desire to get to the top and we achieved that, in the process we made history as the first ones to do it for Britain and the rest have followed. Everybody knows what happened in the fights, but they didn’t see what led up to the fight, the rivalries were real, we all wanted to outdo each other, I’m excited that this series will give the public a chance to see behind the curtain,” Lewis

Eubank’s Quotes

“The Boxing Royalty. In the world of boxing, I’ve been called a champion, but for me, it goes beyond that—I am a king. Christopher Livingston Eubank, a name that echoes through the annals of the sport, isn’t just about winning in the ring; it’s about being a true King, both inside and outside of the squared circle. My journey, from a modest beginning to becoming a legend in the boxing world, serves as an inspiration to many,” Chris Eubank

Benn’s Quotes

“Taking part in this series is a tremendous honour for me. It’s an opportunity to share my story and the values I hold dear. I’ve always said, “Leadership isn’t about telling others what to do; it’s about showing them how it’s done.” Through my journey, I hope to inspire others to strive for excellence, to embrace discipline and determination, and to realize that anyone can become a true king or queen in their own life,” Nigel Benn

If this is something that you fancy watching, then make sure you check out the documentary on Prime Video. Although an exact date has yet to be released, boxing fans can get the chance to see it next year.

And by that time, there could be another rivalry if Chris Eubank Jr. does end up facing Conor Benn. Find all the latest boxing news and MMA breaking updates on boxingblitz.
