Great Pacific Media & World Boxing Council Partner for Docuseries

Great Pacific Media (GPM), a Thunderbird Entertainment Group company, has teamed with the World Boxing Council (WBC) for the upcoming docuseries Prizefighter (w.t.).

The project explores the lives of current boxing champions and rising stars inside and outside of the ring. Prizefighter will provide an in-depth look at the sweat, sacrifice and mental toil it takes to become a boxing champion.

Filming is underway in Las Vegas, with director Tony Vainuku at the helm.

Mauricio Sulaimán, president of the WBC, said, “Every boxer in the world could inspire a script for a Hollywood movie; most rise from difficult backgrounds facing poverty, discrimination or personal obstacles to become true heroes. The documentary series we’re producing with Great Pacific Media will showcase these champions. Their courage, resilience and pursuit of excellence will serve as inspiration for future generations.”

“Professional boxing is an obsession felt around the world since the early 20th century, and the inherent storytelling drama inside the ring and out has been celebrated in a long rich legacy of Hollywood blockbuster hits,” said David Way, president of GPM. “Prizefighter is an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the real-life stories of today’s best in boxing. It’s every boxer’s dream to hold the WBC Green and Gold belt, and we will be there as they train, challenge and defend those titles. We could not be more excited to enter into the ring of professional boxing with an amazing partner like Mauricio Sulaimán and the WBC.”
