Storyline
Fighting is a rough-hewn heroic tale about realizing dreams of glory, putting audiences ringside at high-stakes underground street fights. Channing Tatum stars as Shawn MacArthur, a young man who scrapes up a living hustling counterfeit merchandise in NYC. With family tragedy in his past and his father keeping him at a distance, this outsider has little to motivate him. A chance encounter with veteran street-fighting coach Harvey Boarden (Terrence Howard) leads to a whole new career for Shawn. The ensuing bouts get tough, especially with the criminal element horning in, so Shawn gets tougher. He will fight to win, not only the prize money but also the unexpected new relationships that are strengthening him.
