Genre: Sports Feature Doc

Produced by Alan McKenna/Ron Scalpello
SUMMARY “Four fighters set on a collision course that would live with them forever"
BENN, EUBANK, WATSON, MCCLELLAN
OUTLINE : Death Or Glory will be the defining documentary about the greatest boxing rivalries in modern history. Michael Watson – The People’s Champion – Nigel Benn - the Dark Destroyer, Chris Eubank – the man the country loved to hate and Gerald McClellan, the brash American World Title holder. Death Or Glory will be the untold story of their bitter rivalries and the equally competitive struggle for control and domination between the men behind the boxers; Ambrose Mendy, Frank Warren and Mickey Duff.
The fights between these men produced the most brutal conflicts ever seen and resulted in two men lapsing into comas immediately after their respective fights and a suicide attempt by one of the victors. Part celebration, part investigation, “Death Or Glory” will use interviews with the boxers, the families, the promoters and the men in the corner to look back at the most destructive and yet the most enthrallingperiod in middle-weight boxing.
