Short description

When the champ's promoter, Rev. Sultan, decides something new is needed to boost the marketability of the boxing matches, he searches and finds the only man to ever beat the champ. The problem is that he isn't a boxer anymore and he's white. However, once Rev. Sultan convinces him to fight, he goes into heavy training while the confident champ takes it easy and falls out of shape.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film James watches before the fight is "Dolemite" (1975).
  • When Roper throws the ring box onto the floor, the ring falls out of it. However, in the following shots, Rollo places the box with the ring inside.
