Created by Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan and Marlon Smith and executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, “Fightland,” is a stimulating crime drama that puts audiences directly in the boxing arena. Set in London, “Fightland” follows Maduka “Duke” Kilroy (Howard Charles), a disgraced former Heavyweight Champion who returns to his hometown seeking vengeance on the man who destroyed his life. Dynamic, bloody and engrossing, the show is an engaging account of revenge, fractured family dynamics and unbridled ego.
