Film Preview: Boyka: Undisputed V (2026) – The Next Evolution of the Most Complete Fighter

Since his breakout in Undisputed II (2007), Yuri Boyka—played by Scott Adkins—has become a cult icon in martial arts cinema. After starring in two sequels (Undisputed III: Redemption and Boyka: Undisputed), Adkins has long pushed for Boyka V, and with his rising mainstream profile—especially post-John Wick: Chapter 4—the project has gained real traction 

Now greenlit and slated for a summer 2026 release, Boyka: Undisputed V is setting new standards. With a record franchise budget of around $25 million, the film boasts larger production value, intricate fight choreography, and global shooting locations .

The storyline thrusts Boyka into his most personal conflict yet. After the murder of his mentor by a powerful crime syndicate led by Alon Abutbul’s ruthless boss, Boyka enters an underground international fighting tournament charged with corruption and exploitation . Along the way, Teodora Duhovnikova returns as Alma—Boyka’s emotional anchor—helping him confront his inner demons. Expect a climax that combines brutal brawls with moral redemption .

True to franchise form, Boyka V delivers high-octane martial arts sequences, blending MMA, mixed styles, and cinematic set-pieces designed to showcase Adkins’ peak athleticism 
 With its larger budget, the film is expected to feature international arenas, high-stakes drama, and visually impactful bouts.

The original series, especially the latter entries, earned praise for their fight choreography and emotional depth . Fans on Reddit have long demanded Undisputed V, calling it an overdue chapter in Boyka’s journey 

Meanwhile, Scott Adkins himself has said a solid script is in place—though studio support was needed to move forward 

More than a fight film: Boyka is framed as a dark hero seeking justice, redemption, and emotional closure.

Modern martial arts spectacle: Lifting off from primarily underground settings, this film enters a broader international stage with cinematic action design.

Franchise climax—or next act?: With talk of ensemble crossovers, Boyka V could set the table for a grand Undisputed franchise finale or eventual series expansion 

Boyka: Undisputed V marks a major turning point for the beloved action series. With a bigger scope, emotional stakes, and Scott Adkins at the peak of his prowess, it's shaping up to be the most ambitious Undisputed movie yet. For long-time fans and martial arts cinema lovers, this is the showdown—and redemption arc—they’ve been waiting for.
