GLOVES OFF follows Doug (Brad Moore) who, after the sudden death of his trainer during his championship fight, has inherited a crumbling debt-ridden gym, packed with a mixed bag of crazy would-be boxers (Ricky Tomlinson, Paul Barber, Alexei Sayle).
He must raise £50,000 fast or risk watching his mentor’s legacy re-possessed and transformed into a jumped-up Pilates parlour for stock brokers.

Director, Steve Nesbitt – “Gloves Off is a comedy-drama with genuine dilemmas and obstacles to overcome. The characters are complex, their relationships involved and fraught, but the laughs
come with a seasoning of slapstick and satire, mixed with tonal performance-based humour.”
“I wanted it to have easy to watch editing to welcome our viewers into a world of familiarity and belonging.”
Lead Actor & Co-Writer, Brad Moore “Gloves Off is a piece of entertainment but it also represents to me what people can achieve when they pull together and pride kicks in.”
CEO, Boxing Futures, Anthony York “We’re delighted to be the charity partner for the Premier of Gloves Off. As a small fish in a big pond, punching above our weight, the theme resonates with Boxing Futures strongly. Fighting against the odds, sticking together and rolling with the punches, for a common goal.”
