Never be afraid to forge your own path. From the moment Fahad saw his idol, the great Muhammed Ali, boxing on TV, he knew that that was what he wanted to be: a boxer. The only problem: professional boxing wasn't a recognised sport in his country and there had never even been a professional boxer there before. With the voices of naysayers around him and in his head, Fahad was still determined to become a pioneer. After getting knocked down so many times on his path to boxing greatness, will this aspiring champion be able to rise again to reach new heights? An incredible story inspired by the life of Sheikh Fahad Al Thani -- the first Qatari professional boxing champion and a pioneer in the development of the sport of boxing in Qatar.
