Guts

The pouring sweat. Adrenaline. Heavy breath. Grunts, as you force fists into flesh.

Billy has been training for this fight his whole life. Everyone says he’s the next Amir Khan. He’s got what it takes to become a star.

Guts follows the hopes and dreams of a boy who died on the pavement outside the Victoria Centre one Friday night.
