A feast for the eyes!

American RnB singing sensation, Usher has been confirmed to play boxer Sugar Ray Leonard in a new film called “Hands Of Stone”, which focuses on the story of Roberto Duran when he claimed the WBC welterweight title.

Usher who is also a judge on The Voice, is packing on the muscle to kill this role.He recently talked to the Huffington Post about his new role:

You couldn’t find a more stylized boxer than Sugar Ray Leonard. He was an incredible motion guy, the way he moved around the ring, and I think my dancing will make it easier for me to pick up his moves. I’ve been working on familiarizing myself with the ring, sparring and just understanding how to move in the ring.

Usher also reveals he needs to drop 12 pounds, and then replace it with muscle:
