" Holt McCallany has claimed that boxers have &amp;quot;embraced&amp;quot; his show Lights Out. McCallany, who has previously said that fighters enjoy the series, told Collider that some famous faces have asked for cameos in the FX series. &amp;quot;One of the most gratifying things to me about this whole experience was that the real fighters have really embraced the show,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;A lot of the real guys really like the show a lot. Lennox Lewis wants to come on. Sugar Ray Leonard wants to come on. Gerry Cooney brings it up to me every time I see him. So if that&amp;#039;s any indication of what they think of the show, they not only love the show but they&amp;#039;d love to come work with us and do anything.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, McCallany&amp;#039;s co-star Warren Leight suggested that the series shows a different side of boxers. &amp;quot;A couple of the guys have said, &amp;#039;Thanks for telling our story&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;People think we all know boxers from the moment they step into the ring until the end of the fight. But these guys live full lives and they&amp;#039;re not brutes. They&amp;#039;re complicated guys with gentle sides and tough lives and no union protection and they&amp;#039;re in with a den of thieves. &amp;quot;We try to tell that story as realistically as we can. A number of guys have said, &amp;#039;Thanks for showing more than what they usually show&amp;#039;, which we take some pride in.&amp;quot; Lights Out airs on Tuesdays at 10pm on FX. &amp;amp;gt; FX president pledges Lights Out support "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
