' I will fight any man in England ' was the expression of one James Figg who 260 years ago, standing in a market square in Oxfordshire, would challenge all comers to a fight. So began the noble art of self-defence as we know It today. In this programme PADDY FEENY traces the development of the sport throughout the world.
