The Great White Hope 1970

In early 1910s America, heavyweight boxing champ Jack Jefferson faces a formidable opponent: racial prejudice. As he defends his title, the press and fans seek a "great white hope" to dethrone him. But it's Jefferson's growing bond with Eleanor Bachman that may prove his ultimate downfall, as their forbidden love becomes a target for societal scorn.
