The highly anticipated boxing survival show 'I Am Boxer,' personally designed by action star Ma Dong-seok, is set to launch with a bang on tvN this coming 21st at 11 PM KST, featuring fierce 1-on-1 elimination matches.
'I Am Boxer' will pit 90 boxers against each other in single-round, no-time-limit bouts where only the winner survives, promising heart-pounding suspense from the very first episode. With Ma Dong-seok, a renowned action star and a boxing gym owner for 30 years, spearheading the revival of K-boxing, the show boasts an epic scale, offering a grand prize of 300 million KRW, a championship belt, and a luxury SUV to the ultimate winner.
The lineup includes formidable boxers such as Jang Hyuk, Julien Kang, Kim Dong-hoe, Yuk Jun-seo, and Jung Da-un, all known for their impressive skills and physiques.
