Research into Similar Boxing DocumentariesBy Max Shorter

+Chris Eubank ‘Simply the Best’

In this documentary they focus on his boxing career, but mainly focus on how he became one of the worlds best boxers for his time and what challenges he had to face when growing up in the Bronx. Most boxing documentaries want to show people how boxers became what they became. It shows that you can be anyone to become a really good boxer and teachers you life lessons in the process. In these documentaries they do interviews on friends, family and coaches and that is something I will have to do in my documentary.

+I Am Ali

I Am Ali is Muhammad Ali’s personal archive of audio journals as well as interviews and testimonials from his inner circle of family and friends are used to tell the legends life story. This is a great documentary on the legend of boxing but this is hard to replicate because this was made after he was dead. Furthermore I can take tips from this documentary because it has all the same aspects as all the other boxing documentaries made. From this I can include footage of boxing fights. Sparring sessions, images of the boxer and much more.

+Tyson

In Tyson (the former heavyweight boxing champion), reflects on his tumultuous life both in and out of the ring. Tyson discusses his time in juvenile detention, his relationship with mentor Cus D’Amato, his boxing career, and the rape charge that landed him in prison. In this dramatic documentary his always asks who am I? as all other boxing documentaries it focuses on his ups and downs throughout his career and his main influence who kept him going to be the best he can be.
