Jason Statham is set to star in the upcoming film ‘Viva La Madness’, which is currently in production since January 2023. The film is produced by Punch Palace Productions, Lumina Studios, Toff Guy Films, and Black Bear, and is distributed by Black Bear/Amazon MGM.
In the world of boxing, significant developments have unfolded recently. Frank Warren, a prominent boxing promoter, has threatened to sue the WBC if they do not order Oleksandr Usyk to fight Agit Kabayel. This comes after Kabayel won the vacant interim belt by defeating Zhilei Zhang in February 2025.
Usyk is scheduled to face Rico Verhoeven on May 23 in Egypt, marking a crucial bout for both fighters. Following this fight, Usyk has indicated that he has two more fights planned, neither of which includes Kabayel.
Warren emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, “Kabayel’s number one in the WBC, and the fight goes on in Egypt between Usyk and Rico Verhoeven, and afterwards the WBC will have to order the mandatory, and if they don’t, we will sue them.” This highlights the pressure on the WBC to act in favor of Kabayel.
Warren further asserted, “I’m telling you, I’m not going to p— around with this, Agit [Kabayel] deserves his opportunity, he should be in there, and if anyone tries to duck that fight, then he’ll have to vacate, it’s as simple as that. Fight Agit or vacate.” This statement underscores the determination of Kabayel’s camp to secure a title shot.
As the boxing landscape evolves, the potential matchup between Usyk and Kabayel remains a focal point, especially after the WBC’s expected order for Usyk to defend his title voluntarily. This situation is critical for both fighters and their respective teams.
Meanwhile, Statham’s involvement in ‘Viva La Madness’ adds another layer of interest to the entertainment industry, showcasing his continued prominence in film. The film’s production is anticipated to attract significant attention, given Statham’s star power.
As events unfold in both the film and boxing arenas, the implications for those involved are substantial. The outcomes of these developments could shape future opportunities for Statham and the fighters alike.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact release date for ‘Viva La Madness’ and the subsequent boxing matches, but the anticipation continues to build.
