Bad Boy Boxer: The Last Chance

Boxer Lee Selby has walked a rocky road in life. He has fought his way up from small smoky social clubs in south Wales to boxing's world stage today. He's now a contender, preparing for the defining fight of his life - to try and become the featherweight champion of the world. Boxing is Lee's life, but he's not just fighting for himself. He's fighting for his family, friends and his home town of Barry. Over twenty years ago his father thrust an eight-year old child into the ring. Lee's been boxing ever since - always encouraged and driven by his father. His road to the top hasn't been simple. As a teenager Lee was drawn to alcohol and drugs and he also lost friends and family very close to him. Under the most difficult of circumstances, he's turned his life around and is now on the verge of greatness. This will be the biggest year of Lee's life and he has allowed a film crew to go behind the scenes to follow him as he prepares for the ultimate test - a shot at becoming a world champion.
