What it’s about. Charismatic African-American boxer Jay “The Sport” Jackson has a burning desire to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Jackson’s fight begins long before the match, though; it takes careful negotiations to convince the white reigning titleholder to even recognize him as a worthy opponent and enter the ring.
Who’s in it. The Royale stars McKinley Belcher III as Fish, Khris Davis as Jay, Montego Glover as Nina and John Lavelle as Max, among others.
