FightBox was a game show that aired on BBC Three from 13 October to 10 November 2003 and was hosted by Lisa Snowdon and Trevor Nelson with Paul Dickenson as commentator. It ran for one series.

Contestants designed their fighters and submitted them to the BBC in a leader board style tournament. Out of hundreds of submissions. the top 30 and 30 wildcards were chosen to appear on the show.

As well as battling each other, the fighters would face one of six "Sentients", warriors who had won previous (unseen) tournaments and achieved this honour. The Sentients were: Banshee, Big George, Kodiak, Nail, Pearl and Vesuvius. Although immortal, they did have certain weaknesses which a fighter could use against them. After winning the first series, competitor warrior Kill Frenzy, created by Usman Arshad, achieved sentience and joined the current six. These seven Sentients featured in the video game mentioned below.

The show wasn't terribly well-received and little remains of it. There is half of the first episode in the series on youtube uploaded by user Andrew Tham. Other smaller clips are available but these are few and far between. To date, no full episodes exist in any form online.
