How far would you go to win? ‘A Knock-out’ is the story of an undefeated world champion boxer whose career comes to a sudden end because she is not promotable. Michele Aboro (1968) grew up in rough South London, where she learned from a very young age how to look out for herself. Thanks to her mentality and her talent for combat sports, she succeeded in putting her difficult past behind her. After securing a contract with the biggest boxing promoter in Europe., Michele won every match she fought, and it appeared that nothing would hold her back from a magnificent career in the sport she loved. Nothing, that is, until her promoter prematurely broke her contract. Marketing and promotion appear to be more important than her performance as a boxer. How far will Michele go to win a fight outside the ring as well?
