An all-access series following the highs and lows of life at the McGuigan Gym, home to some of the most talented professional boxers in the UK.
Led by renowned trainer Shane McGuigan – son of Barry McGuigan, and one of the youngest coaches in history to train a world champion – the Stable includes Lawrence Okolie and Chris Billam-Smith, two dominant forces in the cruiserweight division.
Heavyweight Daniel Dubois fights to the top with his sister Caroline Dubois, a future powerhouse of women’s boxing. Alongside them is Adam Azim, a fighter tipped as one of British boxing’s hottest prospects.
