She might be a whopping 105 pounds dripping wet, but Meg Ryan is set to enter the world of professional boxing - on the screen, at least.

Ryan will play Jackie Kallen in the biopic Against The Ropes, about the first female boxing manager. Omar Epps is set to play one of the boxers in her care. Kallen managed four middleweight boxers all the way to the championship belt, including Thomas Hearns and James Toney.
