Giant (2026)
Director: Rowan Athale · Writer: Rowan Athale
Follows Prince Naseem Hamed from his humble beginnings on the tough working-class streets of Sheffield and his discovery by Ingle, himself a steel industry worker turned boxing trainer. Their unlikely partnership, Naz’s unorthodox style, cocky persona, and sheer dominance in the ring propelled them to the top of boxing’s elite and unprecedented levels of global superstardom, all in the face of the rampant Islamophobia and racism of ’80s and 90’s Britain.

She convinces him to let them learn a little bit of self defence, and in return for some shockingly tone-deaf singing he agrees. The youngest, Naseem, isn’t daft enough to sing though - he just demonstrates the kind of footwork hitherto res…
