Boyka: Undisputed 4 (2016)Directed by: Todor Chapkanov
Starring: Scott Adkins, Teodora Duhovnikova, Alon Aboutboul, Martyn Ford, Brahim Achabbakhe
OverviewIn this fourth chapter of the Undisputed series, Yuri Boyka has left the prison cages behind and now fights professionally. But when a tragic accident in the ring causes an opponent’s death, Boyka travels to Russia seeking redemption by helping the man’s widow. His path leads him back into brutal underground fights — this time, not for glory, but to earn salvation.
Boyka: Undisputed IV keeps its fists flying but softens its protagonist just enough to explore themes of guilt, sacrifice, and honor. It’s a lean, focused martial arts film that balances bone-breaking action with unexpected soul.
What Worked
Scott Adkins delivers one of his best performances — both physically and emotionally Choreography is crisp, intense, and inventive — especially the climactic fight with Martyn Ford Expands Boyka’s arc from arrogant warrior to humbled protector Sleek direction and grounded visuals — dirty gyms, concrete cages, and raw hand-to-hand combat Teodora Duhovnikova adds heart as Alma, giving Boyka something human to fight for
Fan Reactions
“Boyka still hits like a truck — but now he’s got a conscience.” “Adkins makes you care — even when he’s smashing skulls.” “Not quite Undisputed III, but still top-tier fight cinema.” “That final fight is one for the books — brutal, emotional, satisfying.”
Final VerdictBoyka: Undisputed IV is a rare martial arts sequel that dares to grow its character beyond the fists. While it doesn’t reinvent the genre, it sharpens its edge — delivering brutal action with a redemptive arc. For fans of kinetic fight choreography and stoic warriors on a mission, this is a satisfying round four.
