The Big Final

Idris's team have their most intensive training session to date when they are put through their paces by the formidable British Army's elite boxing team, but 29-year-old Chanika struggles with the imposing opposition.

On the eve of their big night, Idris's squad are dealt a devastating blow which puts the entire experiment in jeopardy. With the government announcing new measures as the Omicron variant spreads across the country, Fight School is forced to close, and their fight is cancelled. As the students go back home, Idris is determined to keep up momentum. Fight School goes local, as he enlists the help of amateur clubs from across the country. Faced with the challenge of helping his recruits refocus and readjust, there's some welcome good news for Idris when 20-year-old Fin and 26-year-old Jess return to Fight School.

In order to remotivate his team, Idris sets them their biggest challenge yet – the UK's highest freefall abseil, but it's far from plain sailing as the students face their fears and the unrelenting elements.

The students get to grips with the new normal at Fight School, balancing their intensive training alongside work and family commitments, but this adjustment proves easier for some than others.

Their big night at the prestigious York Hall finally arrives and Idris's full team reunite to get behind their fellow Fight School boxers. It's the moment of truth for Idris's fighters as they enter the ring for their first ever amateur bouts.
