Fighting is a 2009 sports action drama film directed by Dito Montiel. The movie follows the story of Shawn MacArthur (played by Channing Tatum), a young street hustler in New York City who gets drawn into the world of underground street fighting.
After Shawn is discovered by a small-time promoter named Harvey Boarden (played by Terrence Howard), he begins to compete in illegal street fights, using his natural talent and toughness to rise through the ranks. Along the way, Shawn meets Zulay (played by Zulay Henao), a struggling waitress whom he begins to develop a romantic relationship with.
As Shawn becomes more successful in the underground fighting circuit, he attracts the attention of the wealthy and powerful businessman, Evan Hailey (played by Brian J. White), who offers him a chance to compete in a high-stakes, televised tournament. But as Shawn rises to fame and fortune, he also becomes increasingly embroiled in a dangerous world of corruption and violence.

It features several well-choreographed fight scenes and strong performances from its cast, particularly from Channing Tatum in the lead role.
