I'd love to see Usyk KO the Rock irl.

Can’t we have some actors playing these guys

Zac Efron as Igor Vovchanchyn

 

[Smooth Princess]

I'm trying to cling to hope for this movie because Bennie Safdie is an outstanding writer and director, but man these casting choices are wild.

That’s pretty cool. Saw this footage of Igor a while back.

He just has to do 1 more weight cut, with some CGI magic he can play himself

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

Zac Efron as Igor Vovchanchyn

mahershala ali as kevin randleman

 

[Sumomike]

Vin Diesel should be Coleman. Outside of fast and furious, he can actually be a decent actor

 

[Hog-train]

Igor Vovchanchyn was the original Fedor. Hands of stone.

 

[NikLuk]

That’s pretty cool. Saw this footage of Igor a while back.

Th first time I saw Igor vas the Paul Varelans fight. I thought this is crazy, this giant will kill this little guy. Then Paul came into Igor’s striking range and Igor unleashed utter havoc upon Paul. Truly crazy.

 

[Fight Professor]

Volk with 3-4" lifts would have been a better choice.

 

[Afrikan]

That’s pretty cool. Saw this footage of Igor a while back.

Any reason why the Mexican Flag randomly pops up? (One of the punching bags)

Nice to see Igor out there, after all these years, healthy and moving.

That would be cultural appropriation reeeeeeee

 

[sanguinius]

the rock is only 3 years younger than Kerr.

 

[Sumomike]

the rock is only 3 years younger than Kerr.

Not in miles though. And their current physique is not 3 years apart only. With makeup and cgi, it'll be fine.

What really matters is if he can handle such a serious and emotional role.

Zac Efron as Igor Vovchanchyn

Just bleach Efron's skin LOL

Vin Diesel should be Coleman. Outside of fast and furious, he can actually be a decent actor

 

[Busgosu]

Igor Vovchanchyn was the original Fedor. Hands of stone.

yeah, they both used a roughly similar punching technique which was desvastating on both their rivals and their own hands

 

[BJJ4Tone]

If a guy that is 6'3" can play a guy that is 5'8", give him the Oscar.

 

[Dionysian]

Fun choice for Igor / this might just be watchable!

Make up in Hollywood can do marvels. Look at the Rock as Mark Kerr.

Holy shit / I'm actually impressed

 

[Bojka]

Isn't Usyk taller than the Rock?

edit: They're apparently both 6'2.5"

 

[The Bloody Nine]

If a guy that is 6'3" can play a guy that is 5'8", give him the Oscar.

The champ does what he likes. Including cutting height.
