The "Zero Dark Thirty" star features opposite singer/actor Usher, who plays Sugar Ray Leonard in the biopic, which explores the pair's longtime rivalry in the ring.
The film chronicles the ring rivalry between the boxer and Panamanian star Roberto Duran, played onscreen by Edgar Ramirez, and although Usher was the filmmakers' first choice for the role of Sugar Ray, the singer-turned-actor wanted to ensure his casting had the full support of the 60-year-old icon.
