How to watch the 'Tyson vs Bruno' documentary on UK TV

A new feature length film documenting one of sport's most historic rivalries is coming to Sky Documentaries.

Available from February 26, the documentary chronicles what it describes as a "rock and roll story" and reunites the old foes to reminisce.  

"Britain's gentle giant" versus "the baddest man on the planet" will forever be remembered as a hero against villain tale. 

The two fighters first met in the ring in February 1989. Bruno famously stunned Tyson in the first round, although the American went on to recover and claim the victory in Round 5.

Seven years later, the men squared up with one another again. Tyson, the aggressor throughout the fight, won once again by technical knockout, taking Bruno's WBC Heavyweight crown in the process. 

Featuring recollections from boxing figures like Lennox Lewis and Buster Douglas, the documentary is compiled and directed by Benjamin Hirsch and the the Oscar winning film maker Kevin Macdonald. 

The documentary "culminates in a brutally honest head to head meeting as both men deal openly with their inner demons".

A trailer can be found for the documentary here. Access to Sky Originals starts from £27 a month.
