We’re proud to reveal the official poster for The Boxer from Somewhere Else: The Ken Buchanan Story, the highly anticipated feature documentary about Scotland’s legendary lightweight champion.

The striking design captures both the grit and the legacy of Ken Buchanan, combining archival fight imagery with an evocative portrait that reflects the depth of his story. It’s a fitting visual introduction to a film that charts Buchanan’s rise from Edinburgh’s boxing gyms to becoming world lightweight champion and an inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.


About the Film

Directed by Jamie Steedman, The Boxer from Somewhere Else has been more than fifteen years in the making. The documentary weaves together rare archive footage, animation, interviews, and cinematic reconstructions to tell the story of a man who fought his way to the top on the world stage.

Set for release in UK cinemas this October, the film promises to be both a tribute to Buchanan’s extraordinary career and a compelling portrait of a sporting hero who never stopped fighting.

Why This Poster Matters

Posters are often the first taste of a film’s identity, and this one doesn’t pull any punches. With bold typography and a powerful black-and-white image of Buchanan, it reflects both the intensity of his fights and the lasting impact of his life beyond the ring.

The release of this poster is another exciting step on the road to the documentary’s big-screen debut.
