A proposed "Survivor"-esque elimination-style reality boxing series is no longer a featherweight project.

The series, which will revolve around aspiring boxers, is being executive produced by Sylvester Stallone, The Hollywood Reporter says.

The star of the popular "Rocky" films will also lend some on-air presence, sources say.

In addition to the competition element, the show will delve into the personal histories of the amateur boxers, showing them in training and in settings outside the ring.

The show is currently being pitched to all the major networks with no firm air-date set.
