We were so excited to hear about a new Irish boxing movie that would be hitting cinemas soon.
Swing Bout follows the story of a young boxer who is plunged into a tumultuous journey from the dressing room to her ring walk in a night of deceit, betrayal, and life-altering decisions at a major boxing event
“Toni, like most boxers at the beginning of their fight career, has dreams of being a world champion,” reads the official synopsis.
“But, here on fight night, amid the bright lights and the chance to box in front of a huge TV audience on a major fight card, reality strikes hard, and Toni finds herself low on confidence and even lower on cash.
“She becomes entangled in a web of corruption spun by her promoters, The Casey Brothers.
“They and her conniving coach tempt her into taking a dive against a hot prospect with connections to the underworld in exchange for a lucrative payoff.”
Sounds thrilling, indeed!
This week a screening took place, with well-known faces stepping out to support the flick.
Swing Bout hits cinemas on September 20th
