Idris has 12 months to go from novice kickboxer to a contender in a professional fight. If that alone wasn’t enough make you tune in, then watch this promo and your mind will be changed.

Even if you aren’t a fighting fan, this show could still be for you. The mental agony and hard training he has to put himself through makes this a great watch. One episode has aired from this three-part documentary and the other two will be aired on 24 and 31 of January respectively.
It has received quite positive feedback from Twitter, who knew a 43-year-old man getting sweaty and hurting himself would be so popular.
#IdrisFighter @DiscoveryUK @idriselba Huge respect for doing this!
Emotional, painful, hardcore, dedicated & gripping to watch.

If all this hasn’t convinced you then I don’t know what to say.
