Usher has signed on to play boxer Sugar Ray Leonard in a forthcoming movie.
The singer confirmed the casting in an interview, explaining that if people see him running around London, it's part of his training for the role. "I'm in preparation for a very incredible role."He said. If you see me in the corner boxing, I'm doing that while working on this album."
The film, called Hands of Stone, will be filming late this year. Usher will star opposite Robert De Niro and Gaei Garcia Bernal in the picture, which tell the story of Panamanian boxer Roberto Duran.
Usher will also release his seventh studio album late this year. "Climax" Diplo-produced the first single from the as-yet untitled-recored, is on the charts now.
