Netflix released a scene photo from 'Fight Class' showing the final boxing match between Oji Suzuka's Kota Shimura and Yusuke Iseya's Yugo Kuwata. Director Hideki Takeuchi praised Suzuka for building a trained physique within the four-month shoot, noting he had to look scrawny in early episodes and muscular in later ones. Takeuchi, who previously worked with Iseya on 'Fly Me to Saitama,' said he pushed for Iseya in casting and asked him to train hard again. The series, directed by Takeuchi and written by Yuichi Tokunaga, is their first Netflix adaptation. It streams worldwide on June 11.
