Shadow Boxing 3. The Final Round

Shadow Boxing 3: The Final Round (2011) is a Russian sports drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Alexei Sidorov — the closing chapter of his boxing trilogy. Denis Nikiforov returns as champion Artyom Kolchin, alongside Andrei Panin and Elena Panova.

Kolchin is retired from competition, filling his days with coaching, TV appearances, and an increasingly hollow social life. His wife barely recognises him. Then his trainee nearly dies in a fight against Kuerte — something about the bout doesn't add up, and Artyom flies to Hong Kong to track down an old friend who knows what really happened. Getting the truth means pulling on the gloves one more time.

The third film lands hardest if you've seen the first two, but the boxing sequences are staged tightly and Nikiforov carries both the physical and emotional weight. Watch Shadow Boxing 3: The Final Round (2011) online on iFILM.
