Great documentary. Focusing on various East End boxing gyms in the early 90s, Fighters shines a light British boxing's dream factories with the various players all aiming to make it big and escape a harsh and unforgiving East End. Overall a brilliant, gritty and fascinating documentary with a real insight into the pain game.
