Rivals: Fury v Joshua - watch trailer

Cooper's famous left hook was nicknamed 'Enry's 'Ammer, while Hungarian-born Bugner (right) moved to Britain with his family as a child

It was the end of an era when 21-year-old Joe Bugner faced British boxing favourite Henry Cooper at Wembley's Empire Pool. Cooper, affectionately known as 'Our 'Enry', was 36 and defending his British, European and Commonwealth heavyweight titles against a man 15 years his junior.

After 15 gruelling rounds, Bugner claimed a hugely controversial points victory by just a quarter of a point. The decision was met with boos from the crowd, while BBC commentator Harry Carpenter protested: "How can you take the man's three titles away like that?"

Cooper announced his retirement afterwards, with the result remaining one of the most fiercely debated in British boxing history.

Both fighters have sons who followed them into professional boxing, with Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr continuing the family rivalry in two fights in 2025

Few rivalries have captured the British public's imagination quite like Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank. The aggressive, hard-hitting Benn and flamboyant, outspoken Eubank were contrasting characters who shared a genuine dislike for one another.

Their first meeting at Birmingham's NEC lived up to the bitter build-up, with the pair trading punishing blows in a ferocious contest.

Benn was ahead on two scorecards when Eubank forced a dramatic ninth-round stoppage to claim the WBO middleweight title. The result launched one of British boxing's defining rivalries, with their 1993 rematch at Old Trafford ending in a draw.

The rivalry turned personal in the build-up to the fight, with Bruno (left) questioning Lewis' British identity after he represented Canada at the 1988 Olympics

It was a clash between two of Britain's biggest heavyweight stars, but Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno arrived in Cardiff with contrasting reputations.

Bruno was a hugely popular figure still chasing his first world title, while Lewis, born in London but raised in Canada, was defending his WBC heavyweight crown.

Bruno made the stronger start and was ahead on one scorecard, with the other two level, before Lewis turned the contest around with a devastating left hook and a flurry of punches in the seventh round.

The victory cemented Lewis' status as world champion, while Bruno would have to wait another two years to finally fulfil his world title dream.

Years after their bitter rivalry culminated in a Wembley rematch, Carl Froch and George Groves buried the hatchet and even toured the country together to reflect on their famous battles

Bad blood between Carl Froch and George Groves produced a sensational world super-middleweight title fight in Manchester, with the younger challenger determined to prove he belonged at the highest level.

Groves stunned the champion with a first-round knockdown and was ahead on all three scorecards before Froch fought back.

But referee Howard Foster's decision to stop the contest in the ninth round sparked outrage, with sections of the crowd booing and Groves insisting he had been robbed of victory.

The controversy only intensified their rivalry, setting up a blockbuster rematch at Wembley in front of 80,000 fans six months later.

Ipswich-born Wardley (right) was a latecomer to professional boxing, while Londoner Dubois comes from a boxing family that includes his world champion sister Caroline

The most recent fight on the list was a remarkable display of heavyweight resilience at Manchester's Co-op Live arena.

Fabio Wardley, whose rise from white-collar boxing to world champion had captured the imagination, floored Daniel Dubois just 10 seconds into their WBO title contest and again in the third round.

But Dubois, whose determination had been questioned after previous defeats, produced an extraordinary comeback, repeatedly hurting a bloodied Wardley before forcing an 11th-round stoppage.

Promoter Frank Warren described it as the best heavyweight fight he had ever put on. The pair met again five months later, with Dubois winning a far more one-sided rematch in the second round.
