Boxing In And Out Of The Ring takes viewers inside the high-stakes business of boxing. Beyond the bright lights of the ring, scandal has always been part of the boxing scene.
From the time the mob ran the fight game in the 40s and 50s to the recent allegations that fighters' ratings can be rigged with a bribe, the business of boxing has operated in the shadows. The film takes viewers inside the FBI investigation into the corruption of the biggest boxing organisation in the world - The International Boxing Federation. Still, this troubled sport defies efforts to reform it. While the businessmen who run boxing obey only the rules of unfettered capitalism, boxers risk their lives and their livelihoods for a shot at becoming champion of the world. Boxing In And Out Of The Ring is an unprecedented look at the inner workings of the fight world from both sides of the ropes.
