The Champion (2001)

 

His strength made him a boxer. His faith made him a champion.

A preacher struggling to make a difference in his community. A son carrying on a vision handed down by his father. A believer struggling to maintain his faith in an ungodly world. For those who missed it in the theaters or want to relive the journey. For those looking for a new way to share the gospel. For those in search of hope and inspiration. Don't miss this opportunity to own the film that exhorts all of us to "Fight the good fight" finish the race and keep the faith."

Former cruiserweight champion Orlando Leone (Carman) runs a youth center and works as a security guard for a local hotel. He finds himself in a confrontation with the current cruiserweight champion when responding to a complaint of too much noise in the hotel. The boxing promoter hearing of this and the publicity it brings blackmails Orlando into a must fight situation.

The result of this is the story of a man faced with incredible odds as he is forced back into the ring to face the current champion. Orlando is put to the test as everything that matters in his life is placed on the line. He must now lean on his faith to give him the strength to fight for his dreams.
