GIANT
FILM
Synopsis:
GIANT is the true story of Prince Naseem “Naz” Hamed’s humble beginnings on the tough working class streets of Sheffield and his discovery by Brendan Ingle, himself a steel industry worker turned boxing trainer. Their unlikely partnership along with Naz’ unorthodox style, cocky persona and sheer dominance in the ring, propelled them to the top of boxing’s elite and unprecedented levels of global superstardom, all in the face of the rampant Islamophobia and racism of 80’s and 90’s Britain. On board to executive produce are Sylvester Stallone and Braden Aftergood of Balboa Productions.
