Last Round, The: Chuvalo vs Ali 1967 USA (2003)

Set against the backdrop of the turbulent sixties, the film tells the riveting story of the “Battle of Toronto”, and the events leading up to the now legendary duel between the highly favoured Ali and unheralded local hero Chuvalo.

While the formner Cassius Clay was busy re-inventing himself from sassy press darling to Nation of Islam follower and draft resister, the Rocky Balbao-esque Chuvalo was exploited by mangers and scraping through minor bouts as he desperately tried to realise his potential. After fifteen of the most gruelling rounds in fighting history, Chuvalo emerged a boxing immortal when Ali proclaimed him "the tougest man" he ever faced.
