In Undisputed III: Redemption, Boyka, a Russian inmate, is now significantly impaired due to a knee injury sustained at the conclusion of Undisputed II: Last Man Standing (2006). Once a formidable prison fighter, he has deteriorated to the point where his only role is cleaning toilets. However, with the onset of a new international prison fighting tournament that offers the winner a chance at freedom, Boyka is compelled to restore his honor and compete for his place in the competition.
A group of eight top-tier fighters, all inmates from high-security prisons globally, is assembled by a formidable underground gambling organization for a clandestine competition focused on survival in Undisputed III. Faced with daunting odds, Boyka plans to confront the syndicate on his terms, ultimately aiming to dismantle their entire operation.Years after his loss to George “Iceman” Chambers, Yuri Boyka, now working as a janitor in prison, learns about the Prison Spetz Competition (PSC), a tournament that could grant him early release. He secretly trains to heal from his knee injury and ultimately challenges the reigning PSC champion of Undisputed III, Vladimir Sykov, defeating him to become the representative for Russia.
At Gorgon prison in Georgia, Boyka becomes part of a diverse group of fighters facing severe conditions, while Colombian fighter Raul “Dolor” Quiñones enjoys preferential treatment and drugs. Initially at odds with American fighter Jericho “Turbo” Jones, they eventually build a bond and train together. Boyka discovers the tournament is rigged for profit and, with the assistance of mob bosses Gaga and Gio Farnatti, confronts the organizers. Alongside Turbo, Dolor, and Brazilian fighter Rodrigo Silva, Boyka progresses through the tournament.
After a brawl, Turbo and Boyka are placed in solitary confinement but are released thanks to their managers’ influence. Boyka realizes the managers prioritize profit over fighters’ well-being and sets his sights on defeating Dolor. In the semi-finals, Boyka triumphs over Silva, earning his respect. The organizers orchestrate an attack on Turbo, prompting Boyka to devise an escape plan. They fight their way out and Boyka prepares to face Dolor alone.
Dolor initially dominates the match, taking advantage of Boyka’s injured knee. However, Boyka adapts by using a blood-soaked pad for support and adopts a new fighting technique, ultimately defeating Dolor and thwarting the managers’ bets. In the chaos, Farnatti kills Rezo but is shot by the warden. Although in Undisputed III, Boyka is not released due to Turbo’s escape, Turbo saves him from execution. They encounter Gaga, who reveals he had bet on Boyka all along. As they part ways, Boyka and Turbo promise to meet again for a future match in Undisputed III, with Boyka walking towards freedom, filled with joy, while Turbo reveals his true name as Jericho.

On May 29, 2014, when questioned about the possibility of Undisputed 4, Adkins stated, “Yes, it is definitely something we are pursuing.” He elaborated that they are currently working on the script and striving to satisfy all involved parties, although the process is taking longer than anticipated due to the challenges of financing such films in today’s market.

Nevertheless, he expressed enthusiasm for the character of Boyka and the ideas they have for his future.
