Women shouldn't fight pro? I'll show you

Available for over a year

When Lady Tyger was a young girl growing up in New York in the 1960s, she watched Muhammad Ali and other men boxing on the television. Even though there weren't any female boxers she could aspire to, she was soon boxing seriously. But at the time, it was illegal to issue women the licences they needed to turn professional. Until Lady Tyger pushed back – eventually becoming a World Champion in 1979 – and fought for respect and legitimacy of women within the sport. Lady Tyger features in the documentary Right To Fight. In 2002, speed skater Steven Bradbury became Australia's first Winter Olympic champion, in one of the most extraordinary races ever seen at any Games. He survived a late wipe out in which three of his competitors fell, allowing him to clinch victory against all the odds. (First broadcast in February 2018.)
