Much of the bloody action occurs outside of the boxing ring in this British-set crime drama, executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (the Power franchise) and starring Howard Charles as pro boxer and heavyweight champ Duke Kilroy. His triumph is short-lived when he becomes the victim of a brutal attack that claims his brother and leads to a prison sentence, after which he returns to London to get revenge on the promoter Kingsley Marshall (Nicholas Pinnock), whom he blames for his downfall. His approach: to infiltrate Marshall’s drug-running criminal enterprise on behalf of a rival cartel, a scheme complicated by Marshall’s recent disappearance and Duke’s undying attraction to Marshall’s wife, Joy (Deborah Ayorinde).
