- Information
Description
Fearless Freddie charts the career of pugilist Freddie Mills, who became the biggest name in British boxing, a television star in the 1950s only to commit apparent suicide in 1965.
Freddie was a boxing superstar at a time when the country was still trying to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of the Second World War.
A natural entertainer, he embarked on a successful media career long after his days in the ring came to an end, paving the way for other sports stars to do the same in future.
However, there was a darker side to Mills. His nightclub brought him into contact with notorious London gangsters.
Constantly plagued by depression and money worries, the death of Freddie remains a mystery.
Since his death, conspiracy theories aplenty have been peddled about how and why Freddie was found in the back of a car, having shot himself through his right eye.
Could a man who had it all really take his own life or was there something more sinister afoot?
