We follow rising star Professional Italian Ghanaian boxer ‘Joshua Boateng’ during his early career fighting in his home town of ‘Naples’ after being refused his English boxing licence twice despite living on his auntie’s sofa for 2 years to pursue this dream. In London, I follow Josh back to Naples for 2 fights. At the same time, he figures out how to raise money and sell tickets for fights in a country he left due to racism in the sports of boxing not supporting black Athletes, with all the mental challenges that come with boxing and being an expat, coach issue and hardships that come with making weight, training and living on the poverty line without guaranteed income.

This is a story deeper than boxing. It is about a young black male who leaves a sport in a country that is still a little racist towards black athletes to come to the UK and has that dream delayed due to medical reasons and no real answers. He must continue. We see his determination, heart, faith, and hope as a fighter and human explored through the connection with his family, partner and God.
