Right; you know the rules; watch the low blows; if its a knock-down no messing about; go straight to your corner; and dont come out till called for; are we clear? Touch gloves; lets go.In the red corner: Leon Davidson - Black British champ or Uncle Tom? In the blue corner: Troy Augustus - American powerhouse or naive cash cow? Having spent their youth in the same London boxing gym; vying for the favouritism of inspirational; foul-mouthed trainer Charlie Maggs; the two former friends step into the ring and face up to who they are. Boxing has dominated their lives with an unhoped-for structure and meaning; but it becomes clear that it is no substitute for their health; family; and friends. Roy Williams Sucker Punch looks back on what it was like to be young and black in the 1980s and asks if the right battles have been fought; let alone won. With an introduction by Harry Derbyshire; Lecturer in English and Drama at the University of Greenwich.
