Synopsis
A fly-on-the-wall documentary about professional boxer Amir Khan, filmed between 2014 - 16. The documentary follows Khan as he chases a fight with the unbeaten superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. Outside of the ring Amir must grapple with the significance of family, fame, and religion, as he grows from being boxing’s golden child into a man. Under the guidance of new trainer Virgil Hunter, Amir first puts on a stunning performance in beating former world champion Devon Alexander in Las Vegas. Buzz around a potential showdown with Mayweather grows, but he opts instead to fight Manny Pacquiao instead. Amir then goes on to defeat Chris Algieri in Brooklyn by unanimous decision but the fight is a much closer encounter than many had anticipated and Amir is seen as underperforming. Mayweather again looks over Amir as his opponent, and then retires from Boxing.
