Johann Wilhelm Trollmann becomes middleweight champion in Nazi Germany—the first Sinto boxer to win the title. Known for his dance-like fighting style, he is stripped of his title under racial laws, separated from his family, persecuted, and imprisoned in concentration camps. Before his death, reduced to a skeleton, he fights one last time against a Nazi kapo who challenges him. Rukeli—“tree” in the Sinti language—knocks him out, choosing to die a champion despite the brutal punishment that follows.
