The Big Question: If you had to recommend one boxing film for people to watch right now, what would it be and why?

Callum Johnson (Light-heavyweight contender)

It would be Rocky 4 if I could only choose one because itโ€™s my personal favourite. Not only is it a great boxing movie, the songs are great as well.

Kieran Farrell (Trainer, manager and promoter)

For kids, Iโ€™d say Rocky. You canโ€™t go wrong with Rocky. It has inspired and continues to inspire a lot of people to try boxing. For adults, though, Iโ€™d definitely say Journeyman. Thatโ€™s a top boxing film and a story very close to my heart.

Miles Shinkwin (Former English light-heavyweight champion)

Rocky 4. Love the training camp, love the ring entrances and love the fight. Watching it for the first time you never think Rockyโ€™s going to win.

Gareth A. Davies (Journalist)

Double-sitting. Lunchtime: Raging Bull. Intense, brutal, compelling. Robert De Niro at his very finest and an epic tale from Jake LaMottaโ€™s memoir. The milieu of LaMottaโ€™s life in the 40s and 50s, put to screen by Martin Scorsese, captured the brutality of life back then, and the prevalence of boxing in American life. Early evening: Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby.
