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.

The Guardian:  ”A compelling film. It’s beautifully shot and a reminder how raw drama, poignant vulnerability and riveting characters define boxing at its best.”

The Mirror: ”Josh Warrington reveals what will happen after he beats Carl Frampton.”

LeedsLive: ”Meet Leeds boxing superstar Josh Warrington at a special fan event.”

While boxing provides a backdrop to ‘Fighting For A City’, the film embraces the universal themes of sacrifice, love, ambition, pressure, joy and despair, making this multi-faceted and sophisticated feature accessible to anyone.  ‘Fighting For A City’ looks at the impact of Josh’s dreams on the relationships of those around him, particularly Josh’s father, Sean O’Hagen, who is also his trainer.
