Two young british actors, (Anthony Welsh & Daniel Kaluuya), are cast in the leading roles of the Royal Court Theatre's production of Sucker Punch by Roy Williams in 2010.

This video shows insight into some of the work these actors did in preparation for their roles of welterweight boxers.

"In the red corner: Leon Davidson -- Black British champ or Uncle Tom? In the blue corner: Troy Augustus -- American powerhouse or naïve cash cow?"

"Two former friends step into the ring and face up to who they are. Sucker Punch looks back to the 1980s and asks if the right battles have been fought, let alone won."

(Drake's album was released when the actors were in training... Light Up was a favourite!)
