Yekra Player
Yekra is a revolutionary new distribution network for feature films.
EL BOXEO is a project that deals with race, language, culture, economics, politics – and above all, boxing. It’s an oral history – a story told by fighters, boxing experts and historians, announcers, commentators, comedians, sportswriters, actors, spouses, entertainers and fans – people like Bob Arum, Miguel Diaz, Jose Sulaiman, Francisco “Paco” Valcarcel, Larry Merchant, Al Bernstein, Victor Ortiz, Jimmy Lennon Jr., Juan Laporte, Mia Rosales St. John, Richard Steele, Hanna Gabriel, Armando Muniz, Pepe Correa, Roger Mayweather, Orlando Canizales, and many others — complemented by fight footage, archival photos, and memorabilia.

Done in two versions – one predominantly English, and the other largely Spanish – it’s a project whose time has come.
El Boxeo will be released on Sunday, June 15, 2014–Father’s Day–but you can pre-order it now by clicking here.
