Join in fight experiment

We, the producers of a brand-new BBC Two series, Idris Elba’s Fight School, are looking for young adults to take part in the show.

The new series will see international star Idris Elba set up an experimental fight school in London, which will provide an outlet for young men and women who may have found themselves stuck in a rut, for whatever reason.

This experiment is based on real-life fight schools which have proven to transform the lives of the young adults.

Idris, and the team of coaches and mentors, are looking for the recruits, aged 18-30, from a number of places throughout the UK.

They're looking to use boxing to teach them life skills like self-worth, confidence, focus and determination – all key elements in the world of fight training.

The life lessons learned from Fight School will hopefully give them the tools, determination and direction to transform their lives and stay with them long after the completed challenge.

Living and training together over six intense months, they will battle it out against other amateurs and work towards a big showcase finale.

If they can stick it out, this will motivate them to make positive changes, but only if they are open to them. No previous boxing experience is necessary.

We're keen for our audience to see people whom they relate to, and so we want to make sure we reach out to a range of areas.

We want as many young people as possible to have the chance to access this life-changing, once-in-alifetime, free training.
