78The Fighter Movie is a Real Life Story of Lowell Boxer Micky Ward and His wife Charlene
THE FIGHTER - FROM LOWELL TO HOLLYWOOD Mark Wahlberg the star of the film is originally from Dorchester, Massachusetts. The gym that Micky trains in during the film is the real gym in Lowell, not a set. Most of the film was shot in Lowell a long way from sunny Hollywood.
