FightTube - Not by the Playbook

What this episode covers

The first rule of FightTube is you always talk about FightTube. On Saturday 25th August, two youtubers will box each other in front of thousands in Manchester Arena and millions watching online around the world on youtube. Sportshour has spoken to youtuber Elliot Hackney and independent media analyst Alex Degroote about how this will change the sport and the platform. On the same day, history could also be made at Wembley Stadium, when French Rugby League side Catalan Dragons face Warrington Wolves in the Challenge Cup final. No foreign side has ever won the trophy. The Dragons rise in the sport is even more remarkable considering the sport was banned by the Nazi Puppet Government in Vichy during World War 2. Robert Fassolette talks about the ban and the impact it had on the sport. Plus, can Usain Bolt really play football? The Jamaican had a trail with Norwegian side Stromgodset earlier this year, assistant coach Martin Foyston talks about Bolt's football career and Long Drive golfer Sandra Carlberg talks about aiming for a sixth world title.
