NEW REALITY

Bear’s Mission with Anthony Joshua FRIDAY / ITV / 9.00PM

In the boxing ring, world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is unbeaten in his 19 professional fights. But how will he fare when he tested his mettle against TV’s top adventurer Bear Grylls?

In a one-off ITV documentary, survivalist Bear challenges the boxer to embrace the great outdoors, confronting his fear of heights, sleeping under the stars and chowing down on tasty maggots.

We caught up with Bear, 43, to find out whether Anthony, 28, came out fighting or threw in the towel…

So, Bear, were you excited when you heard Anthony was going to be your latest ‘opponent’?
