The two-time Oscar winner will appear in the boxing biopic Hands of Stone, which will be released wide on Aug. 26. Edgar Ramirez (Carlos) stars as boxing legend Roberto Duran. De Niro plays Duran’s trainer, Ray Arcel. The Panamanian fighter began his career in 1968 at 16 years old and retired in 2002 at 50.

His 1980 fights against Sugar Ray Leonard (played in Hands of Stone by R&B star Usher Raymond) were particularly notable: Duran won the first bout and the Welterweight Championship. In the follow-up, Duran ended the fight by returning to his corner and forfeiting, telling the referee, “No más” — “No more” in Spanish.

Writer-director Jonathan Jakubowicz’s movie also stars Ana de Armas, Ellen Barkin, and John Turturro.
