A Fight to the Finish is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by B. Reeves Eason and starring William Fairbanks, Phyllis Haver and Tom Ricketts.[1][2]
Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] Jim Davis, a young man whose father has turned him out without a cent, is involved in a street fight and whips a man whom he learns is the state boxing champion in his division. Mary Corbett urges Jim to meet the champion in the ring and thereby win enough money to convince his father he can earn his own living. The ring fight is staged, but Jim loses because he has been drugged. In the dressing room after the fight, he thoroughly trounces the champion. Later he wins the affection of the young woman.
