Middleweight
Middleweight tells the story of a boxer caught between the past and present, where love and loss hit just as hard as any punch in the ring.
Ten years ago, he was a young fighter, focused on his dream of making it big while living with his mum in a council estate. Their relationship was complicated—strained by her battle with addiction but held together by fleeting moments of understanding.
Now, he’s a champion and a family man, driving through the quiet countryside when a phone call changes everything: his mum has left rehab. As the timelines weave together, Middleweight reveals a raw, intimate portrait of a man fighting for more than just titles—he’s fighting for his family, his past, and himself.
