Korean entertainment is about to deliver a knockout! This November 21, 2025, Disney+ brings an adrenaline-fueled new reality series titled I Am Boxer, created by Eternals star Don Lee and the creative team behind the hit survival show Physical: 100.
With 90 boxing hopefuls from across Korea stepping into the ring, this upcoming series promises a thrilling blend of competition, emotion, and perseverance — all in the spirit of discovering the next great boxing icon.
A Reality Show That Hits Hard
Produced by CJ ENM, I Am Boxer is not your typical reality show. The series gathers contestants from diverse age groups and weight classes, each ready to prove their skill, heart, and endurance in the boxing ring.
From raw amateurs to familiar celebrity faces, each challenger will fight their way through intense training sessions, elimination matches, and personal tests designed to push them to their limits.
Adding to the excitement, I Am Boxer will feature special guest appearances from major boxing legends, giving both contestants and viewers a chance to witness the sport’s true spirit up close.
Star-Powered Hosts and a Proven Production Team
At the heart of I Am Boxer is Don Lee, also known as Ma Dong-seok, the charismatic actor loved for his powerful roles in Eternals and Train to Busan.
Lee, who has long been an advocate for combat sports and personal fitness, now steps outside the movie set to help nurture a new generation of boxers.
Joining him as co-hosts are Dex (The Zone: Survival Mission 3, Single’s Inferno) and Kim Jong-kook (Running Man), both bringing their signature energy, humor, and motivation to the show.
Behind the camera, I Am Boxer is written by Kang Suk-kyung, one of the key creatives behind the wildly successful Physical: 100, and produced by Lee Won-woong, director of the popular military reality series Steel Troops.
Together, this powerhouse team promises a production filled with grit, authenticity, and emotional storytelling, blending entertainment with athletic determination.
More Than Just a Boxing Competition
Beyond the punches and sweat, I Am Boxer is set to tell human stories of resilience and ambition. Each contestant carries their own motivation — from chasing lifelong dreams to reclaiming confidence after personal challenges.
The show aims to showcase not only their physical transformation but also the emotional growth that comes from perseverance and teamwork.
This unique approach to sports reality television mirrors the success of Physical: 100, which captivated global audiences with its raw portrayal of physical strength and endurance.
Now, I Am Boxer raises the stakes by spotlighting the discipline and heart behind boxing, one of the most demanding sports in the world.
