The Boxer

A BBC Scotland documentary about Kristen Fraser who knows a thing or two about commitment. As Scotland’s first female professional boxer she has dedicated her life to the sport and pursuit of victory. We follow her professional journey; becoming a mum alongside her wife Kirsty; her faith; and being an out athlete. She won her title with rainbow laces in her boots but success hasn’t come without sacrifice, as she reveals on The Boxer. Her dream is to become world champion.

My take

An intimate portrait of Scotland's first female professional boxer balancing elite athleticism, motherhood, faith, and visibility as an out athlete. Inspiring and deeply human—the kind of documentary that celebrates both triumph and the quiet sacrifices behind ambition.
