Plot Summary

Undercard is a 2025 American sports drama directed by Tamika Miller, who co-wrote the screenplay with Anita M. Cal. The film premiered at the Newport Beach Film Festival in October 2025 and is scheduled for a United States theatrical release on February 27, 2026. The story centers on Cheryl “No Mercy” Stewart (portrayed by Wanda Sykes), a two-time former boxing champion whose personal demons - including alcoholism and the pain of having abandoned her son- have kept her from a meaningful life since leaving the sport. When her estranged 21-year-old son, Keith (played by Bentley Green), suffers a crushing defeat after his trainer’s gambling addiction jeopardizes his career, Cheryl sees a chance to not only guide his professional comeback but also to reclaim the family she lost. The ensemble cast also includes Roselyn Sánchez, Berto Colón, Estella Kahiha, Xavier Mills, and William Stanford Davis in supporting roles. Set against the backdrop of the boxing world’s emotional and physical intensity, Undercard explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, family, and resilience as mother and son navigate both the sport and their fraught personal history.
