As the movie's story tells about a boxer named Sean Kelleher who has to break his oath of never boxing again to raise money to save his sick son, Madsen is plotted to play the athlete with Chamberlain as his boxing coach. Meanwhile, Jones has been billed to portray the role of Kelleher's arch rival, Smasher O'Driscoll.

Written and directed by Mark Mahon, pic is scheduled to start filming by mid-September in the Irish county of Cork with Olann Kelleher, Mary Alleguen, and Mahon himself seating as the producers.
