Billie and Bobby Come Face to Face in New Clip from Battle of the Sexes
A brand new clip from Battle of the Sexes has been released. The clip sees Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs coming face to face at the press conference before their big match.
In the film, “The 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs became the most watched televised sports event of all time. Trapped in the media glare, King and Riggs were on opposites sides of a binary argument, but off-court each was fighting more personal and complex battles. With her husband urging her to fight for equal pay, the private King was also struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality, while Riggs gambled his legacy and reputation in a bid to relive the glories of his past.”
The film will hit theaters on September 22.
