Idris鈥檚 squad face their first test: sparring three rounds against an opponent who won鈥檛 pull their punches. It鈥檚 only a taste of what鈥檚 to come, but as lack of fitness and focus become apparent, Idris begins to realise the extent of the life changes all eight will have to make if they鈥檙e to stand any chance in their big final fight.

Unused to routine, 28-year-old roofer Ash struggles with Fight School鈥檚 rules and strict training regime. Meanwhile, 25-year-old Londoner Zeb is battling exhaustion but is reluctant to explain what鈥檚 keeping him awake at night. And 18-year-old Naeem鈥檚 lack of punctuality continues to frustrate his coaches. When all three miss the start of an early morning session, Idris decides to visit them at home to find out what鈥檚 going wrong.

Determined to improve morale, Idris organises the ultimate wake-up call: an open water swimming challenge, designed to show his squad how to overcome the demons that keep holding them back.
