April 7, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Lionsgate has released a poster and trailer for the upcoming thriller American Fighter. Directed by Shaun Paul Piccinino and starring George Kosturos, Sean Patrick Flanery and Tommy Flanagan, the film follows Ali (Kosturos), a college wrestler who enters the dangerous world of underground fighting in a desperate attempt to win money to save his ailing mother.

Duke (Sean Patrick Flanery The Boondock Saints), a troubled handler, takes pity on the boy and trains him to be a fierce competitor—but is it enough to make Ali a winner?
