Donald McRae has been immersed in boxing for fifty years. He has followed fighters around the world and won multiple awards for his writing. But, in recent years, McRae's love has waned, as criminality and corruption consume the soul of boxing. In 2018, grieving the death of his sister and with his parents terminally ill, he sought refuge in boxing again - just as Tyson Fury completed an incredible comeback, proving that the ring can still offer exhilaration and redemption. From Fury's resurrection to the first undisputed heavyweight champion this century, boxing can be epic and electrifying. It can also be disappointing, as McRae discovers when he documents doping's insidious rise or travels to Saudi Arabia where boxing ignores state repression.
