Giant, an upcoming biopic starring Pierce Brosnan and Amir El-Masry, has released an official trailer.

Based on the real-life story of world boxing champion Prince Naseem Hamed (El-Masry), the sports drama will chronicle his changing dynamic with legendary trainer Brendan Ingle (Brosnan), who coached him for 16 years.

“Charting his inspiring rags-to-riches underdog tale from his humble beginnings in Sheffield to becoming champion of the world and a global sporting icon in the 1990s, the film explores the unlikely and tender relationship between Naz and his Irish boxing trainer, Brendan Ingle, and the instrumental role that Ingle played on his road to success,” the synopsis explains.

“With exhilarating and visceral scenes in the ring, coupled with deeply moving and intimate moments behind the curtain, Giant is an inspiring biopic of one of the greatest showmen the sporting world has ever seen – the untold true story of the boy behind The Prince.”

Currently, a release date has yet to be determined, but fans will be able to see Giant in cinemas.
