Sylvester Stallone is an executive producer on the film.
The first trailer has been released for Giant, a new sports biopic movie about British-Yemeni world boxing champion Prince Naseem Hamed (Amir El-Masry).
The film will explore his relationship with Irish boxing trainer Brendan Ingle (Pierce Brosnan).
Hamed was one of four world champions that the Dublin-born Ingle trained at his Wincobank gym in Sheffield, England, with the others being Johnny Nelson, Junior Witter and Kell Brook.
Described as Britain's best boxing trainer, Ingle passed away in 2018 at the age of 77.
