Frank challenged Ip for a fight to see whose fist is the fastest and if Ip can withstand his fists for three minutes, he would leave the school, Ip and his family alone, Ip accepted. From the outset, Ip was seemingly overwhelmed by the sheer muscle and force of Frank who dominated the fight thoroughly. However, Ip changed his tactics and increased his speed and was able to launch a few punches on Frank. Just as both was about to launch a decisive blow on each other, 3 minutes had passed. Ip left the office and Frank seemed impressed and kept his promise. Cheung opened his martial arts school and claimed that his Wing Chun Skills is genuine while Ip's was not. Cheung proceeded to defeat a number of martial artists and challenged Ip to a final showdown. Ip, however, was preoccupied accompanying his wife for her remaining days and did not attend the fight and Cheung was declared the winner. Wing Sing, despite was happy for Ip staying with her, made an appointment with Cheung for fighting Ip as she knew that Ip would accept that challenge if not for her condition. Wing Sing accompanied Ip to the challenge. They first fought with sticks which Ip and Cheung fought to a standstill. They then fought knives with Ip seeming to win narrowly. When Cheung lost his knives, Ip threw his away. They proceeded to a fight without weapons. They both seemed evenly matched, with both delivering blows to each other. However, Cheung was able to launch a blow to Ip's right eye, temporarily blinding him. Cheung's victory seemed certain, but Ip was able to evade Cheung's following hits with his hearing and beat Cheung with a one-inch punch, despite not being able to see. Defeated, Cheung relinquished his title as the Champion of Wing Chun. Ip asked him to spend more time with his son and left with Wing Sing. The ending of the film told the audience that Wing Sing passed away in 1960, and Ip made Wing Chun internationally well known.
