Feeling less like a promo for a boxing event and more like one of George A. Romero's fever dreams, Riyadh Season's Day of Reckoning film has already caused an excitable stir online with its unique presentation.
Starring Anthony Joshua, Joseph Parker, Frank Warren, Filip Hrgovic, Dmitry Bivol, Deontay Wilder, and more, the film journeys through a zombie wasteland, focussing on each pugilist for a macabre yet mirthsome undead 'bit' to camera.
Created by Big Time Creative Shop and produced with a Truffle and Academy Films collaboration, director Romain Chassaing's clear affection for the genre, plus his ability to convince the big men into going full cosplay for their moments, makes for a genuinely entertaining and idea-filled teaser that's likely to be shared beyond the boxing fandom.
