BBC One - Stable: The Boxing Game, Series 1, Episode 1

Shane McGuigan mentally and physically prepares his stable for make-or-break fights.


Shane McGuigan and his team prepare for a world title defence, while two of his young prospects climb the ranks. Outside the ring, we learn what life was like for Shane growing up.


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.
