Emmy® Award-winning screen and stage star John Leguizamo stars in this hard-hitting story of a talented young boxer who must navigate the path between
his newfound fame, with all its seductive trappings, and his humble yet proud roots as a Latin growing up in Jackson Heights, Queens.
Surrounded by his childhood friends and an old
school trainer, Lex Vargas endures a devastating personal loss before turning professional,
eventually signing with a high-profile promoter in order to accelerate his career and get a title
shot.
The move brings Lex fame, fortune, a new house and a sexy girlfriend - but threatens to
undermine the longtime bonds and proud heritage he shares with his old friends from Queens.
Directed by John Leguizamo. Screenplay by Frank Pugliese.
UNDEFEATED premiered on HBO Saturday, July 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
