Day of the Fight

On the day of his first fight since leaving prison, weathered box Mikey, former middleweight champion, prepares for his highly anticipated return to the ring, a huge long shot undercard at the legendary Madison Square Garden. But before he can face off against a new champion, he first needs to face the demons from his past, embarking on a redemptive emotional journey about second chances, self-sacrifice and forgiveness.

Powerful, poignant and deeply moving, the film stars Michael C. Pitt (Seven Psychopaths, The Dreamers), in a fearless lead performance, with knockout support from Nicolette Robinson (Woman of the Hour, One Night in Miami), John Magaro (Past Lives, The Big Short), Emmy and Golden Globe winner Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire, Fargo), Golden Globe winner Ron Perlman (Hand of God, Hellboy) and Oscar winner Joe Pesci (The Irishman, Raging Bull). 

From the producer of The Irishman and Joker, Day of the Fight marks a bold filmmaking debut from acclaimed actor-turned-writer-director Huston (Boardwalk Empire, House of Gucci).
