The Contender

Hard luck truck driver Gary Farrell enters a boxing tournament to earn enough money to keep his son in a prestigious military academy. He wins the tournament and is suddenly thrust into the world of professional boxing. Trainer Pop Turner and famous promoter Kip Morgan both think he has what it takes to be champ. Gary doesn't disappoint, battling his way steadily towards a shot at the title. It seems the only person who might stop Gary Farrell's meteoric rise is himself, as the once modest working man lets success go to his head. Neglecting his son, his friends and his trainers with the big fight on the horizon, Farrell's fast living may have him headed for a fall. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)
