BOXING BIOPIC Prizefighter, Prime Video

A PASSION project for lead actor Matt Hookings, whose father was a champion boxer, this is a biopic of one of Britain’s first prizefighters, Jem Belcher (Hookings), who changed the world of boxing in the early 1800s. Known as the ‘Napoleon of the ring’, he also had a love of fashion and even started clothing trends. The great cast includes Ray Winstone as Belcher’s trainer, Jodhi May as his mother, and Russell Crowe (pictured) as his grandfather, Jack Slack, who tutors the young Jem in the pugilist’s brutal art.
