Josh Taylor is one of Britain’s most successful athletes. The Prestonpans boxer has risen from the amateur ranks as a Commonwealth gold medallist to capture all four world championship belts in breathtaking style. Only five other male fighters have achieved this remarkable feat.

This documentary follows the Scotsman as he prepares for his highly anticipated title defence against England’s Jack Catterall, using unfiltered access to tell Taylor's story and fashion an intimate insight into the sacrifices, pressures, passion and pride that go into reaching the top in sport’s most brutal business.
