About the Work
This year’s Battle of The Baddest brought together two of the world’s biggest fighters from two different codes in one big event—World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury and UFC Champion Francis Ngannou—for the biggest crossover fight in history. So to get the world excited, we reimagined the tired old boxing promo and created a cinematic hype film as big and spectacular as the fight itself.
The result was “Rumble”, a 90-second film based on the old boxing saying of “living rent free in your opponent’s head”; something that happens in the lead up to any big fight. As we watch the two fighters train for the biggest fight of their careers, they don’t just sense their opponent training—they feel it—each sending psychological shockwaves back and forth between their two hometowns, and making the whole world rumble in the process. Set to big sound design and a mandarin-language cover of the Nancy Sinatra classic Bang Bang, the editing is not just explosive, it’s almost musical—fusing the percussion of punches and the track to create a fun, unique energy from start to finish.
UK media outlets called the film “the greatest boxing promo in history” and it has since been viewed over 250 million times, with online press and consumer conversation accumulating a staggering 10.5 billion impressions, translating to an earned media value of $30.7 million.
