The Prizefighter and the Lady

Steve (real-life boxer Max Baer) is a brash bartender whose knock-out power is discovered by the Professor (Walter Huston), an alcoholic ex-fight trainer. Working together, they find success in the ring, and Steve begins a whirlwind romance with the sultry Belle (Myrna Loy), a gangster's moll who hastily leaves her man to marry him. Steve's infidelity brings discord to their marriage, but he'll have to overcome these distractions if he's going to succeed in his heavyweight title fight.
