The Twilight Zone 1x27

Directed by Ron Winston

Ivan Dixon as Reverend Anderson • Walter Burke as Joe Mizell • Stephen Perry as Henry Temple • Kim Hamilton as Frances Temple • Henry Scott as Thomas

Even though Jackson breaks his hand prior to the fight, he wins because Henry - a boy who adores the fighter and believes in magic - made the "big, tall wish." After the fight the boxer refuses to believe in magic.
