We Interview Edgar Ramirez and Usher Raymond IV for Hands of Stone!

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Edgar Ramirez is a terrific actor. In his latest, he portrays the controversial boxer Roberto Duran and he is absolutely fantastic. HANDS OF STONE tells the story of Duran and the relationship he had with his trainer, Ray Arcel (Robert De Niro), as well as his professional relationship with boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard – played by Usher Raymond IV. We recently spoke to both Ramirez and Raymond about stepping into the ring and portraying these two real life legends. Both were incredibly kind and clearly very happy to discuss taking on these two sports figures and bringing it all to the big screen.

HANDS OF STONE opens this Friday at a theatre near you.
