The Jamaican-Londoners in new Victorian boxing drama

Available for over a year

The Disney+ period drama A Thousand Blows follows notorious boxer Sugar Goodson making his way in the dangerous world of illegal boxing in the 1880s. Malachi Kirby and Francis Lovehall play Hezekiah Moscow and Alec Munroe, who leave their lives in the Caribbean behind for the capital's bare-knuckle boxing scene. Speaking to Eddie Nestor on Âé¶¹Éç Radio London, the pair explained why the portrayal of their Jamaican characters in that era is so unusual and important. (Image credit: Disney)
