Boyka petitions his Russian mobster associate Gaga for an opportunity to compete, but Gaga knows that Boyka’s bad knee will doom him to failure. All of that changes with the announcement of an international competition pitting eight prison fighters from all over the world against each other, with the winner to be granted his freedom. Boyka has since become a shell of his former self, denied parole and relegated to mopping the prison’s filthy halls and unable to fight as a result of his crippling knee injury, with the only elation in his life coming in the form of his devout Catholic faith. That is, until a match with American boxer George “The Iceman” Chambers left Boyka with a shattered knee and his only known defeat. Respected and feared both in and out of the ring, it seemed there was no fighter in the world capable of equaling Boyka. Russian prison fighter Yuri Boyka was once on top of the world. Turbo bringin the thunder Take your best shot challengers You are the champion of the toilets Boyka Up up and away Two feet for the price of one The icing on the cake comes in the form of capoeira virtuoso, Lateef Crowder, best known for his duel with Tony Jaa in “Tom Yum Goong”, who provides a formidable challenge for the beleaguered Boyka. Mark Ivanir returns as Gaga, Boyka’s duplicitous associate within the Russian mafia, while Mykel Shannon Jenkins joins the cast as Turbo, a fellow inmate with whom Boyka butts heads before allying with. Chilean-born martial artist Marko Zaror makes his English-language debut as the villainous Dolor, and he’s equal parts sleazy and fearsome, easily pulling off aerial kicks and manoeuvres more commonly associated with fighters half his size.
Adkins was simply born to play this role, and he handles the challenges of playing the lead with the same effortlessness he defies gravity with. The film marks his fifth collaboration with director Isaac Florentine, and his second time as leading man following his and Florentine’s previous collaboration, “Ninja”. Leading the cast of “Undisputed 3” is Scott Adkins, returning to role of Yuri Boyka.
