Angelo Dundee was de technisch adviseur voor Russell Crowe in de komende boksfilm The Cinderella Man, een film over bokslegende Jim Braddock. Boxing Insider had een interview met hem.





[eng]Boxinginsider.com: You were in Australia as technical advisor for Russell Crowe in his upcoming movie "The Cinderella Man" about James J. Braddock. First time there?

Angelo Dundee: "No, I've been there before, with Jimmy Ellis-Frazier. I was there before that. I was there choreographing Russell. I have an assistant by the name of Wayne Gordon who does the day-to-day stuff. Wayne Gordon's a former fighter of mine, so he's a clone. He's now the coach of the Olympic team. Russell Crowe is the nicest guy I ever met. The nicest. And he's an athlete, easy to teach."

Boxinginsider.com: Interesting that they're making a movie about Braddock.

Angelo Dundee: "I think it's wonderful. It's such a great story line. I can see Russell Crowe having a ball with this one. Jim J. Braddock was a guy that was going nowhere, he was fighting for the food on the table, was on welfare, he used to work on the docks. That kind of guy. And he won the heavyweight championship. And his wife is gonna be played by Renee Zellwegger.[/eng]
