A riveting drama inspired by the true story of Frankie Lucas, a young black boxer navigating the vibrant yet challenging world of 1970s London.
Frankie Lucas wins the National ABA middleweight title twice but, when his path to representing England at the Olympic and Commonwealth Games is blocked, Frankie turns to his roots, competing for the island of
St. Vincent. Confronting the intricate politics of boxing, the weight of his ambitions and the pressing needs of his family, Frankie's spirit is tested to the limit leading him to a triumph that redefines both his career and his legacy.
