The ‘Hands Of Stone‘ U.S. premiere held yesterday, August 22, at SVA Theater in New York City.
The movie, which stars Robert De Niro as legendary trainer Ray Arcel and Edgar Ramirez as Panamanian boxer Roberto Durán also features musician Usher as Sugar Ray Leonard, a one-time undefeated lightweight champion.
The movie focuses on how, at age 72, Ray
Arcel comes out of retirement to coach world-class Roberto Duran. Ray
Arcel became a mentor to the ferocious fighter, convincing him that
winning ultimately comes down to strategy. After scoring knockout after
knockout, Roberto Duran prepared for a bout against Sugar Ray Leonard.
Five months later, on Nov. 25, 1980, the two titans meet for an infamous
rematch that makes boxing history.
The premiere was attended by the leading cast and crew as well as a couple of Hollywood heavyweights.
Power couple Beyoncé and Jay Z came out
to support Usher and they were spotted backstage at the event looking
quite stylish in their matching suits. Beyoncé and Jay Z were dressed in
coordinating grey ensembles with Beyoncé in a plunging double-breasted
jacket with matching pin-striped pants and Jay Z in a white dress shirt
and suit.
