Follow on Google News | Retired Wrestling Legends team with Aussie actor Derek Siow for British Film "Fight Honour Fight"By: Wrestling Movies The trailer for the film follows the record-breaking AEW crowd at Wembley Stadium this summer which headlined some of the best British wrestlers in the world, including Saraya who's life was the basis for the 2019 biopic film Fighting With My Family. Rishi Ghosh who stars in Fight Honour Fight and also appeared in the 2019 film Fighting With My Family, is a British wrestler and actor who has shared the ring with wrestlers such as Kenny Omega, Zack Sabre Jr and Will Ospreay. He's the owner of the Quality Wrestling Academy, one of the busiest Wrestling academies worldwide and is currently performing on the British wrestling circuit for his 2023 retirement tour. Currently based in London, Derek has written and is producing the British film Fight Honour Fight, a heartfelt comedy about a Japanese wrestler who goes to the UK and is taken in by a British-Indian wrestler (played by Rishi Ghosh) however the Japanese wrestler is actually an Australian conman who has never wrestled a day in his life. The only fight training he's had has been school yard and Aussie pub fights and now he's taking over the Brit's house, job and girlfriend. Full of twists and turns, audiences are taken on an emotional ride to see who will survive in the end, the Aussie or the Brit. "I've been a wrestling fan since my youth. British and Australian wrestlers have recently been making a name for themselves in promotions like WWE and AEW and we felt now was a good time to bring our Harold and Kumar-esque wrestling movie to life," says Derek. Also starring in the film is British actress and stunt performer Laura Lake (House of Dragon, Pennyworth, Call The Midwife) who previously performed motion capture for the WWE 2K video game as women wrestlers in the game and also motion capture for the recent Barbie movie. An Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign is being launched for Fight Honour Fight on 1 October 2023 and the trailer drops on 28 August 2023 on http://www.gorillapressproductions.com End
