The Champ background

The Champ

A former boxer, haunted by his past and grappling with addiction, fights to give his son a better life.

Dink Purcell's life is marked by his love for his father, a former heavyweight champion with a penchant for binges, gambling, and squalid living. When Andy wins a race horse, he gives it to Dink, and they race it in Tijuana, where Dink meets Linda, a fellow race horse owner. Their connection sparks a chain of events that exposes a family secret: Dink is Linda's son, given up in a divorce.
