Broadcast on Community Channel/ Sky on the 4th November
38 year-old Imran Naeem puts would-be future world boxing champions through their paces in a sweaty Middlesbrough gym. But he’s not just teaching his pupils to deliver the perfect punch, his infectious enthusiasm is breaking down social and ethnic barriers in a multicultural society.
