      Roy Jones Jr: “He’s still Mike Tyson, he’s still one of the strongest, most explosive people who ever touched a boxing ring. If anything, I made a mistake going in with him. He’s the bigger guy, he’s the explosive guy. He’s going to have all the first-round fireworks, not me. I do have first-round fireworks, but he’s known for more first-round fireworks than anybody to ever touch boxing, other than maybe George Foreman.” More

      “I think it started simply because I preferred the colour blue but it developed into an obsession.
      “I was lucky because I was born in ‘72 and when I was really getting into football was the mid-80s so there was plenty of success and great times to keep me interested.”

      Other explosive moments from the campaign were caught on camera, including Son-Heung Min’s red card against Chelsea.
      And even candid moments like Mourinho ordering his players to be a “bunch of c***s” have not been overlooked.

      All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur is an Amazon Prime exclusive, so that means you can only watch the show on Amazon in the UK.

      What happens in All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur?
      *Spoilers*
      Granted, any football fans will have a pretty good idea about the events that unfold in All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur.
      The show’s producers could hardly have asked for a more dramatic season to follow in recent memory for Spurs.
      Long-time manager Mauricio Pochettino was sacked following a run of poor results at the start of the season and the Argentine manager was replaced by Premier League legend, and former boss of bitter rivals Chelsea, Jose Mourinho.
      There was plenty of turmoil within the squad as well, with club favourite Christian Eriksen leaving the side in January to Italian giants Inter Milan after a protracted transfer saga.
      The show will get to see how big money transfers such as Giovanni Lo Celso and Steven Bergwijn came to be at the club.
      And like every other Premier League side, Tottenham has had to deal with the emergence of the global coronavirus pandemic.
      Who was the manager in All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur?
      All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur starts with Mauricio Pochettino in charge, but the Argentine boss is replaced by Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho before the winter transfer window.
      Who has Jose Mourinho managed before Tottenham Hotspur?
      Jose Mourinho is one of the most decorated football managers to ever grace the game.
      He began his managerial career at Porto, leading the unfancied Portuguese side to Champions League success.
      Mourinho then moved to the Premier League, winning the domestic title with Chelsea, before heading to Inter Milan, where he won the Champions League for a second time.
      A second stint at Chelsea followed, before Mourinho took the top job at Real Madrid and later Manchester United.

      Keen to watch more shows like All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur? The Amazon series already tracked Manchester City in the 2018/2019 season as Pep Guardiola’s side marched to Premier League triumph.
      All or Nothing has also followed a string of American Football teams such as the Dallas Cowboys, the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals, all of which are available to watch on Amazon Prime.
      Or, if American Football isn’t your thing, All or Nothing has even followed the fearsome New Zealand international rugby side, The All Blacks for a year as Steve Hansen’s team prepared for the arrival of the British and Irish Lions tour. More
