Josh Taylor: Portrait of a Fighter is an intimate and unflinching portrait of Scotland’s undisputed world champion, following Taylor through six months of preparation for his highly anticipated fight with Jack Catterall. Shot across Scotland, Essex and Las Vegas, the film takes audiences from Taylor’s working-class roots in Prestonpans and the sacrifices of his family to the punishing realities of training camp and fight night. Featuring a star-studded cast of contributors, including Irvine Welsh, Martin Compston and Carl Frampton, the film paints a vivid portrait of the fighter and the world around him.
“No-punches-pulled account” — a “hugely honest account” where “the harsh realities of life as a professional boxer… are not sugar-coated in any way.”
