“They Fight” Coming Soon To Hulu & Disney+
Disney has released a brand new trailer for the upcoming original film, “They Fight”, which follows a reformed ex-con who finds purpose mentoring young boxers at a Washington, D.C. youth gym as they pursue their dreams in and out of the ring.
The movie tells the story of a reformed ex-con, Walt Manigan, comes home to Southeast D.C. a changed man. He chases redemption, desperate to reclaim his soul, but he must return to the one place he swore he’d never set foot in again – a crumbling boxing gym clinging to life under the watchful eye of his old mentor, Slim. Inside, a ragtag trio of young fighters – Quincey, Peanut, and Twin – battle their own demons with nothing but grit and gloves. As Walt is pulled back into a world he tried to escape, he realizes his toughest fight was never in the ring.
Check out the trailer below:
“They Fight” stars André Holland, Wendell Pierce, and Samira Wiley. Written and directed by Sheldon Candis, who said in a statement about the film’s release:
“THEY FIGHT is my love letter to one of my all-time favorite directors John G. Avildsen. It’s a Karate Kid inspired narrative punched in the face with a John Hughes coming-of-age story about Southeast D.C. kids fighting to dream within amateur youth boxing. André Holland plays the real life character of Walt Manigan within this documentary adaptation of a man searching to reclaim his soul.”
The film will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on Monday, 8th 2026 June 2026, and it will be coming to Hulu and Disney+ on Friday, 17th July, 2026.
