Southpaw is a 2015 American sports drama directed by Antoine Fuqua. Consumed by rage and grief, Billy spirals into addiction and violence, losing his title, his money, his home, and custody of his daughter. To rebuild his life, he seeks out Tick Wills, a grizzled, no-nonsense trainer played by Forest Whitaker who runs a rundown gym for at-risk youth and demands that Billy learn discipline and defense rather than relying on his ability to absorb punishment.

Jake Gyllenhaal's physical transformation was extraordinary — he gained 15 pounds of muscle and trained for months with real boxers, performing his own fight choreography with a physicality that made every punch feel genuine. Southpaw earned $91 million worldwide on a $30 million budget.
