Outback Fight Club

outback-fight
Outback Fight Club features the final tour of Fred Brophy and his tent boxing troupe. After 32 years on the road, Fred is ready to retire. The only catch is that his troupe is the last of its kind in the world and when he goes, it will be the end of an era for this Australian outback tradition. With never before seen close-up action and ultra slow motion cinematography we capture every moment of each fight and learn what goes on inside a boxer’s head during a bout. Mixing footage from the fights themselves with unassuming profiles of the men and women who dedicate their lives to boxing in them, filmmaker Paul Scott weaves a heartfelt farewell to an institution that has always been so much more than a simple boxing match. The result is a surprising and inspiring expose into what really makes boxers tick and the issues facing outback Australians today.
