The documentary follows the fortunes of Barry McGuigan’s family, star fighter Carl Frampton and other boxers in the Cyclone promotions stable. Unprecedented access to the McGuigan and Frampton families provides a fly-on-the-wall insight into the world of boxing and the hard work, skill and determination – not to mention family support – that goes into making a world champion.

While the images highlights the excitement and thrill of winning, it also shows the other side of boxing – the danger.
