About

By day, they are city slickers pummelling the keyboard, eyes fixed on computer screens. By night, these professionals swap their striped shirts and braces for boxing gloves and gowns in their own very special Stock market thrash!

Heroes for Six Minutes will open your eyes to the world of white collar boxing; a testosterone-fuelled arena where the combatants climb into the ring to face not only their opponent, but their own fears and insecurities in a sport that pushes them to their physical and psychological limits.

The programme follows six contenders as they prepare mentally and physically for their fight night, revealing what makes these highly-paid professionals face potential humiliation and pain in a gladiatorial showdown in front of their peers. This is a brilliantly filmed, original and at sometimes very moving portrayal of modern masculinity.
