Available for years

Head coach Shane McGuigan and his team prepare for Lawrence Okolie’s world title defence, while two of his younger prospects, the Azim Brothers, climb the professional ranks. Adam Azim catches the eyes of the boxing world with his impressive skill set, but his brother Hassan has more to prove. As Adam’s fame grows, we see the difficulties involved in keeping young people’s feet on the ground. Shane grew up as the son of a famous boxer, Barry McGuigan, and although it wasn’t easy to carve his own identity, the wisdom and experience have undoubtedly been transferred down a generation.

The McGuigans are a tight-knit family who manage a busy stable of young prospects, world champions and hungry veterans. There is never a dull moment in this cut-throat world of entertainment, famous for broken loyalties. Show less
