It’s the end of training, and Amir heads back to the UK for the weigh-in before the big fight. Back at the hotel, a local imam leads Friday prayers from Amir, his family and friends.

Training camp in the States is over, and Amir heads back to the UK with BoMac, Terence Crawford and the team. Amir takes the entire crew to where this journey started, at his own gym in Bolton. Faryal confides in manager Maz about the pressure she’s feeling and says she needs this to be Amir’s final bout.

With the big fight around the corner, Amir has a full timetable of public events, from TV appearances to public workouts. It’s here the rivals see each other for the first time - both are in amazing shape and ready to settle the long-standing rivalry.

Faryal and friend Khadija have a private shopping session at one of the world’s most sought-after handbag brands. Faryal is keen to add to her bag collection, but with a £26,000 price tag, she’ll have to sleep on the decision.

As the week comes to an end, it’s time for the weigh-in. The chants of the crowd and the media scrutiny are intense. As the two men stand on stage, Faryal breaks down in tears as the thought of Amir being seriously hurt is too much to bear.

Back at the hotel, a local imam leads Friday prayers from Amir, his family and friends. It’s a chance to reflect before the big fight tomorrow.
