You don’t have to be an MMA fan to know who Kevin Ferguson is… or as he’s better know as… Kimbo Slice. The man who rose from homelessness to superstardom and celebrity after becoming a YouTube legend for his backyard brawls which lead him to scoring fights in the UFC itself. Deadline reports that Winston Duke, who recently broke out as T’Challa’s ally M’Baku in Marvel’s over billion dollar grossing Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War, is taking on the role of MMA legend Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson in a film called Backyard Legend. The producer of the film said the following: “It’s a rich and layered tale about this man’s incredible journey from a poor neighborhood in Miami to becoming a worldwide phenomenon. We are ecstatic that Winston has decided to take on this both physically and emotionally challenging role. We simply could not find a better Kimbo!”
