Boxing dramas often combine fights in the ring with the pressures surrounding a boxer’s life outside it. In Fightland, champion boxer Duke Kilroy is drawn into a criminal world as he tries to avenge his brother’s murder.
The series is executive-produced by 50 Cent, the American rapper and actor whose work has also included crime dramas. Its mix of boxing and organised crime places it in a tradition of stories about the links between sport, money and violence.
