The Richest Prize in Sport: They Do Come Back

on BBC One London

The story of the Heavyweight Championship of the World continues tonight.

Floyd Patterson and Ingemar Johansson provide the main events at this stage. They met three times in three years: a total of fourteen rounds of boxing. One fight stopped and two knockouts ended some of the fastest action the championship has seen.

For the first time a heavyweight champion regained his crown, and with the score at one each the third fight was unforgettable.
