Cambridge, 1807: Lord Byron is a 19 year old undergraduate at Cambridge.

He's already a published poet and an established dissolute.

During an intrigue, he is badly beaten up and so goes into training at Gentleman John Jackson's Boxing Academy.

For payment, the bankrupt poet will teach the champion wrestler to write verse.
