Jamie Foxx Taps Into Champion Spirit in Netflix’s ‘Fight for ’84’

Jamie Foxx is lacing up for another knockout role—this time as a boxing coach with everything to prove.

For, the Oscar winner is set to lead ‘Fight for ’84’, a powerful sports drama announced during Netflix’s 2025 Upfronts.

Details below…

Directed by Narcos alum Andrés Baiz, the film follows Foxx as a coach rebuilding Team USA’s boxing squad after the devastating 1980 plane crash that claimed the lives of the entire Olympic team. Against all odds, he guides a new generation of fighters toward glory at the 1984 Summer Olympics, where they made history with the most boxing medals ever won by the U.S.

With a script penned by Andrea Berloff, John Gatins, and Andy Weiss, ‘Fight for ’84’ packs heart, grit, and redemption into one emotional punch.

It also marks another big swing for Foxx at Netflix, where he’s already scored with ‘They Cloned Tyrone,’ ‘Day Shift, and ‘Back in Action.’

Legacy, loss, and resilience—this one’s shaping up to be a true heavyweight.
