an original dvd with the late Emmanuel Steward showing Eminem how to box in his Detroit mansion. In the background you can see Eminem’s kids toys hanging up with bikes and his personal belongings and at one point you can see the cars outside of the garage and sides of his mansion, which is huge.It was rumored that Eminem was being looked at for a role in the movie “The Fighter” staring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale. Once the movie executives passed on him for that movie they were still looking at him for the role of Dmitriy Salita. See article below.There were two of these dvd’s made. The last one sold to Eminem’s people because they didn’t want anyone seeing it. It went for thousands of dollars and that was before Emmanuel Steward died. Emmanuel died October, 2012. This is highly collectable and the only one out there. The date at the beginning shows 9/26/06. This dvd is approx. 44 minutes long. Emmanuel Steward puts Eminem through a tough workout. The first 8 minutes are Eminem hitting the mits on Emmanuel for 2, 3 minute rounds, then 6 minutes of footwork, back on the pads again for another couple of rounds, then back on the pads again after a break. The video was recorded with a video camera so on occasion there is tracking on the bottom but the picture is great. I took lots of screen shots to give you an example. The screen shots aren’t the highest quality but it will show you roughly what’s on the dvd. Emmanuel Steward and Eminem show off their Kronk gym shirts with Marshall Mathers training camp on the back.Not only is this rare footage of the rapper, but it’s also a training session with one of the legendary boxing trainers of all time. He really makes Eminem work his butt off. He is talking and giving boxing advice the whole dvd and says at one time “Repetition makes perfection.”From MTV article:Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, has been working with trainer Emanuel Steward at a gym installed in his deluxe Detroit mansion.Steward said: "I put him through his paces and I was amazed that he was as good as he was. Since then, he's trained regularly and I've put him in the ring with some top-notch sparring partners. He's improved enormously. He's aggressive - a real slugger... He moves a lot like Muhammad Ali."It is believed Mathers is honing his skills for a forthcoming movie role, following his award-winning performance in the hit 2002 film "8 Mile".He has been linked to a big screen biopic of the undefeated 22-year-old Ukranian-born Jewish boxing sensation Dmitry Salita.From Community next:Jewish Boxer May Be Played By EminemNo, really, and in a Jerry Bruckheimer movieBY DAN KLEINJournalists have a phrase: “Burying the lede.” What does that mean? Let’s explain by way of example: Yesterday, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that Dmitriy Salita, the Orthodox Jewish boxer, fresh off a win, will be fighting for a welterweight belt (which he lost late last year) in Manhattan in December. Headline: “Salita Promoting His Title Fight.” And most of the article is about that, until the final paragraph, which reads: “The Ukraine-born Salita is training in Detroit with Boxing Hall of Famer Emanuel Steward, who recently gave some boxing lessons to Eminem. The rapper-actor was preparing to play Salita in a Walt Disney film titled Knockout.”Wait, what??It’s true, Salita confirms. The film has been in the works since around 2003, he said, when Greg Alan Howard, writer of Remember the Titans, “contacted myself and my mentor Jimmy O. He was interested in my story, spent time with Jimmy and I and wrote the screenplay for it.” The real Slim Shady is indeed rumored to play Salita, and, according to Salita, also trained with Steward for the role. The movie will apparently follow Salita up to the age of 19, when the rabbi-in-training won the Golden Gloves and Sugar Ray Robinson awards. The rights have been acquired by Disney’s Jerry Bruckheimer, who has produced a few small, independent flicks like Armageddon, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Rock.The other news for fans of “The Star of David” is that, yes, he will be promoting his own bout against former world champion “Mighty” Mike Anchondo (30-3). The two men will fight for the world welterweight title on December 16th in Times Square’s Roseland Ballroom. Also on the card is Nelson Boyd and the Israeli Ilan Kedem, and Matisyahu will perform a special entrance song live.Salita told me that he is “very excited for the upcoming fight on many levels” and called Anchondo a “very good fighter and hard challenge for me.” He’s preparing for the challenge at Kronk’s gym in Detroit, which he likes for “the very nice Jewish community and … beautiful downtown.” Um, is he really in Detroit?
