De Niro in boxing movie

Robert De Niro returns to the ring in a new boxing movie to be shown at the Cannes film festival this month, 36 years after his Oscar-winning performance in Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull (1980).

De Niro, 72, plays trainer Ray Arcel in Hands Of Stone, a biopic about Latino fighter Roberto Duran. The movie, to be out in August, is about the Panamanian brawler (played by Edgar Ramirez) who took the WBC welterweight title from Sugar Ray Leonard in 2008, only to shock the world by walking back to his corner in the rematch five months later saying: "No more."
