Jack Huston’s Day of the Fight is a raw, poetic portrayal of a man battling not just opponents in the ring but demons from within. It’s a story about pain, memory, and second chances. As the boxer prepares for his first fight since prison, we follow his journey through a single, emotional day—haunted by regret, driven by hope.
