The Champ 45 years old
The most poignant love-triangle of all - a father, his son, and the woman who came between them.
The more you love, the harder you fight. The world looks at Billy Flynn and sees a has-been who seemingly never was, an ex-boxing champion slammed to the mat years ago by booze and gambling. But Billy's son TJ sees what the world doesn't. He knows what his flawed but loving father is, was and always will be - The Champ.
