Champs
A washed-up contender and suspended former champion, and an anxious rich kid form a volatile training trio that forces each man to confront what it means to fight and what's worth bleeding for.
Five years after a historic loss to Volodymir "Volo" Machewzski, former contender Michael Watson is drowning at the end of his fighting career. When Benny Seams, a wealthy, scared 22-year-old who wants to "learn how to fight back" hires both men as trainers, their unstable partnership explodes into rivalry, mentorship, and accidental family. As egos clash and old wounds reopen, the three are pushed toward a high-stakes confrontation which will change their lives forever.
