• Quote from Monde Twala, SVP and GM of Paramount Africa and Lead BET International
  "We are thrilled to bring this powerful South African female boxing drama to BET audiences
  in the USA. At BET International, we believe in the power of diverse storytelling, and this
  series highlights the richness of African cultures while shedding light on the universal
  struggles for gender equality and empowerment. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the hard
  work of the talented cast and crew come to life on screen, and we hope that BET audiences
  around the world will connect with the resilience and strength of these amazing women
  boxers, while also gaining a deeper understanding of South African culture and the realities
  that shape it. This is a story that transcends borders and speaks to great possibilities in and
  outside the ring.”
