David Gonzales of BoxeoMundial caught up with Academy Award-nominated actor Mark Wahlberg while he was down in Florida and spoke to him about his upcoming movie The Fighter. The plot as taken by movie database site http://www.imdb.com is as follows:
“The film is a drama about former jr lightweight boxer "Irish" Micky Ward's unlikely road to the world light welterweight title. His Rocky-like rise was shepherded by half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded in life after nearly being KO'd by drugs and crime.”
“The Fighter,” is slated to begin filming sometime this year, with Mark Wahlberg slated to play the part of Micky.
