<div>Do you fancy a high-stakes, nail-biting competition? Where, for some, the rules are irrelevant. This is a matter of life or death, and if you aren’t willing to take the chance, then what have you got to lose? Stricter glove inspections may be needed…
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Inspired by other fighting films such as Raging Bull (1980) and The Wrestler (2008), this gritty character study follows our protagonist, Ed, who must prove himself as a fighter or risk his reputation, leading to violent consequences.
