2016br. Lui è Johann Trollmann (1907-1943), pugile sinti nella Germania nazista, il più bravo di tutti, ma c'è un particolare: è uno zingaro. La vita di Johann comincia subito di corsa, da quando, bambino, scopre la boxe e sale sul ring portando con sé i valori e la tradizione della sua gente, e guadagnando strepitose vittorie, una più emozionante dell'altra, con il pubblico (soprattutto femminile) in visibilio. Ma uno zingaro non è come gli altri tedeschi: come può rappresentare la grande Germania alle Olimpiadi del 1928? Le strade del successo ben presto gli vengono sbarrate, il clima politico peggiora, il nazismo travolge tutto, anche la sua vita e quella della sua famiglia. Non importa che Johann sia il più bravo, il titolo di campione dei pesi mediomassimi gli verrà negato, nonostante la vittoria sul ring. Da quel momento la sua vita diventa impossibile: prima il divorzio cui è costretto per salvare la moglie e la figlia, poi la sterilizzazione, la guerra cui partecipa come soldato e infine il campo di concentramento e l'ultima sfida, quella decisiva, contro il kapò, che vincerà, e per questo sarà punito. Con la morte. Dario Fo, grazie a una ricerca di Paolo Cagna Ninchi, ancora una volta recupera una vicenda vera e dimenticata. Solo di recente la Germania ha riconosciuto il valore e l'autenticità di questa storia consegnando alla famiglia Trollmann la corona di campione dei pesi mediomassimi negata a Johann ottant'anni prima.
