Haye, who retired from boxing in 2018, began his poker journey by training with British poker professionals Kэti Swift, Jeff Kimber, and Joe Bevers. His goal was to win the Goliath Poker 2019 tournament, but he placed 40th, earning $2,570. Additionally, he earned $740 in a poker tournament in Manila with a $530 buy-in. His total poker earnings amount to $3,300.

In the documentary, Haye reflects on his poker journey, comparing his boxing experience to his newfound passion.

However, he finds parallels in the need to endure a series of failures to achieve success.
