This is a documentary film by Philip Donnellan based on a 1960s Radio Ballad called 'The Fight Game' by Ewan McColl, Peggy Seeger and Charles Parker. The Fight Game: explores the world of professional boxing, where the boxers see themselves as latter-day gladiators. The Fight Game is an ironic tale, on the epic theme, echoing the fact that boxing was once the subject of many broadside ballads.
