Plot summary
In the late 1970s the bare-knuckle circuit of London's East End holds unsanctioned fights, and Lenny McLean, 27, has yet to lose one. One morning a poster for the undefeated boxer Roy Shaw, who goes by the Guv'nor, catches his eye, and he links the nickname to Jim, his abusive stepfather. Angered, Lenny agrees to fight Shaw, who beats him badly and fouls him while he is down. With little money left, Lenny's cousin John "Bootnose" Wall offers him a training camp in his backyard and a series of unsanctioned fights, the earnings meant to draw Shaw into a second bout.
