The film opens on a deserted, floodlit boxing ring, and on the soundtrack the buzz of the spectators can be heard. Thre film comprises four blocks: an interview with the subject, scenes from the gym (including an interview with coach Børge Krogh) and extensive reports from Kalule's two bouts in 1977 and 1978 against the powerful Americans Palladin and Seales. In the fourth, final block Sugar Ray Seales talks about his defeat by Kalule and the latter's prospects in the ring. Written by nathue See less
