Refugee Ramla Ali secretly pursuing boxing against her parents' wishes to become the first Somali-British professional boxing champion, while navigating love, racial and cultural barriers.

Ramla Ali fled Somalia with her family as a young girl, seeking asylum in London from the Civil War. As a teenager, she pursued her love of boxing, but did so secretly as she knew her family would disapprove. Her determination to win led her to the England Novice National Championship, the Elite National Championships and the Great British Championships, becoming the first ever British female Muslim boxing champion.—Lee Magiday
