Battle of The Baddest brought together Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou, from different codes in one big event. To get the world excited, we reimagined the tired old boxing promo and created a cinematic hype film as spectacular as the fight itself.
“Rumble” is based on the old boxing saying of “living rent free in your opponent’s head”. The fighters not just sense their opponent training, they feel it, each sending psychological shockwaves back and forth, making the whole world rumble. This was set to a mandarin-language cover of the Nancy Sinatra classic Bang Bang, performed by Betty Chung.
