The movie dwells on the life of Billy Hope who hits rock bottom after losing his family and falls into depression.

To play a professional boxer, he worked with professional boxers, trainers, and nutritionists to build the body of a professional fighter.

In addition, he added heavy bag workouts to his routine as well to better replicate a boxer. The fans certainly had some opinions about this revelation from the actor and shared their thoughts on this.
