Following Leeds’ featherweight boxer Josh Warrington, ‘Fighting for a City’ captures the sacrifices, struggles, surprises and joys involved in achieving sporting greatness, while also telling the story of a young man’s dedication to his family and to Leeds itself. From Moneyglass Films, creators of the critically- and commercially-acclaimed, ‘Being AP’, ‘Fighting For A City’ is made with investment from Screen Yorkshire’s Yorkshire Content Fund.
Filmed over two years, ‘Fighting For A City’ follows Josh as he pursues his dream of winning the IBF world title when he gets to fight title holder Lee Selby at Elland Road, home of Josh’s beloved Leeds United.
