Fists of Fury - Gypsy and Traveller boxing on 5live

In this 5 Live Sport special, Eleanor Oldroyd is joined by Steve Bunce and 5live's Boxing Commentator Mike Costello, as they look at the rich tradition of pugilism in the Traveller, Roma and Gypsy communities in the UK.

Guests included English Traveller and former Olympic boxer Billy Joe Saunders, Romany journalist Jake Bowers and the most high profile traveller boxer at the moment Tyson Fury. Fists of Fury examined why so few Gypsy and Traveller boxers go on to reach the highest levels.
