Presented by Lucy Kennedy and ex-boxer Barry McGuigan, the four-part series follows ten personalities compete for their charity of choice, in the field of boxing.

[9] Some injuries were caused during the programme, including a broken nose for Jack Sheedy from Lee Sharpe and an injured thumb and bruised ribs for Seán Gallagher from Alan Shortt.

[10] They include Fair City actor Maclean Burke,[17] Apprentice UK contestant Ben Clarke, celebrity businessman Seán Gallagher,[17] showbiz reporter Paul Martin, television presenter John McGuire,[17] journalist Joe O'Shea,[17] children's television presenter Rob Ross,[17] former Manchester United association footballer Lee Sharpe,[17] retired Gaelic footballer Jack Sheedy[17] and comedian Alan Shortt.

[18] Clarke was replaced by Ray Shah[18] and was subsequently seen drowning his sorrows with Champagne in local celebrity haunt Krystle with Louis Walsh and Amanda Brunker.

[24] Only 10 per cent of each episode was devoted to actual boxing, with the focus being more on fitness, a strict diet and loss of weight in an effort said to appeal to a family audience.

[4] Claire Byrne, writing in the Evening Herald, described it as "the best idea anyone has had all year -- throw a group of celebrities into a ring and tell them to beat the heads off each other".

[26] Michael O'Doherty, writing in the same publication, ridiculed the contestants who were "short, rotund, and believe that poncing around in a ring for ten minutes is going to make them 'look hard'", whilst also criticising Paul Martin and Joe O'Shea by telling his followers to "ignore their wordy, self-serving bollox".

Katie Byrne in the Evening Herald said RTÉ were "deluded in terms of what constitutes a celebrity"; however, she admitted it had "come so close to genius" but was lacking in irony.

[29] In the same publication, George Byrne dubbed it "RTE's celebrity boxing atrocity", opining that "quite simply, the fact that charitable causes may benefit financially from something is no excuse for bad television programmes...or rotten records" before comparing the motives to those of television programmes Fáilte Towers and Celebrity You're a Star and the musical attempts of Queen at Live Aid, records released in aid of the Bradford City stadium fire in the United Kingdom in 1985 and the Zeebrugge ferry disaster in 1986 as well as "the dreadful "Let's Make It Work"" which "we were forced to endure [...] on what seemed like an hourly basis on RTÉ radio".
