Vision Films to Release 'The Final Round'

Vision Films Inc. is thrilled to announce the upcoming North American Transactional Video on Demand (VOD) debut of the documentary 'The Final Round' on June 17, 2025. In a parallel release, the film will also be accessible in the UK on the same day. This compelling documentary is directed by Lisa Maydwell and Joyce Licorish, and is meticulously based on the acclaimed book written by Maydwell and Robert W. Lee.

The film provides an in-depth narrative chronicling the life of Robert W. Lee, capturing his ascent from modest beginnings washing golf carts in New Jersey to the founding of the International Boxing Federation (IBF). This journey highlights not only his remarkable rise in the boxing world but also his tribulations that ensued. Working alongside legends like Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, and George Foreman, Lee revolutionized the sport. However, his unprecedented triumphs also painted a target on his back, eventually leading to adversities and deceit from those he trusted. The documentary will explore themes of ambition, betrayal, and redemption.

In addition to Lee's story, the documentary features exclusive interviews with prominent figures, including Robert W. Lee Jr., attorney Gerald Krovatin, and former boxing champions like Riddick Bowe. The late Shirley Lee also shares her insights throughout the film.

Lise Romanoff, CEO/Managing Director at Vision Films, emphasizes the significance of Lee’s story, stating, “This film reveals the boxing world from a viewpoint that remains largely untold. It showcases a man’s determination to reclaim his narrative, accepting his fate with grace.”

Joyce Licorish, one of the filmmakers, expresses, “I aim to create impactful content that resonates with audiences. ‘The Final Round’ is a powerful testament to Robert W. Lee's journey against all odds. His empire was built in an unforgiving landscape, and when everything crumbled, he sought not pity but a platform to narrate his experience. This film delivers that voice, allowing him to be heard clearly and authentically.”

Finally, Lisa Maydwell emphasizes the documentary’s far-reaching significance, noting, “'The Final Round' transcends mere boxing narratives; it honors Robert W. Lee as a pioneer, illuminating the injustices that clouded his legacy. Through this exploration, we aim to shed light on wrongful convictions and recognize the impact he had on making boxing safer and more inclusive.”

'The Final Round' will be widely available on major streaming platforms and cable services in the US and Canada starting June 17, 2025, followed by subsequent DVD releases across leading online retailers.
