Mark Burnett is reviving his boxing reality TV competition The Contender on Epix

Variety

Sylvester Stallone was a big part of The Contender, which launched on NBC in 2005 before airing subsequent seasons on ESPN and Versus, but there’s no word on whether Stallone will be back. “Boxing belongs on premium pay television and there is no better home for The Contender than Epix.” said Burnett in a statement. “We will tell stories of the fighters, the families and their difficult journeys in the emotionally compelling Contender style, so that viewers get to vicariously ‘walk a mile’ in the boxers shoes.”
