I think it's fair to say I've always been a boxing fan.

Some say Hollywood movies that are made about boxing are just metaphors for other things, I think I've made one that's actually about boxing and not a metaphor.

I've always wanted to do a boxing movie.

Most Hollywood boxing movies are metaphors. Your movie is not a metaphor. It's really about boxing.

So many movies are reviewed off their intentions, and noble intentions are fine, but I think that's an easy version.

Boxing should probably be banned. But until then, I'm a big fan.
