Synopsis
Aint about bein no Heavyweight Champion of the White World. Its about bein Champion, period. Jay The Sport Jackson dreams of being the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. But its 1905 and, in the racially segregated world of boxing, his chances are as good as knocked out. When a boxing promoter hatches a plan for the Fight of theCentury, The Sport might land a place in the ring with the reigning white heavyweight champion, but at what cost? Its not just a retired champ hes facing, its The Great White Hope. In daring to realise his dream, is Jay responsible for putting African American lives in the danger zone? Told in six rounds and set in a boxing ring, The Royale is inspired by the often overlooked story of Jack Johnson, a boxer who at the height of the Jim Crow era became the most famous and the most notorious black man on Earth.
