The show is produced by CPL Productions. Rob Beckett told the Royal Television Society that the original idea was to pair him and a non-boxing fan to meet Anthony Joshua and Romesh was chosen as his friend who knew nothing about boxing with the two having met and befriended on the UK comedy circuit. Ranganathan explained that the original idea was just to cover sports “but it soon became clear that if we immense ourselves in any kind of world you’re always going to get something from it.” Beckett explained that they “commit to it. We don’t just fake it for telly. We’re not going through the motions.”
