the grandparents, who love the child, come later to take the kid but he refuses and wants to live with his father, later on the father decides to go back to boxing to earn a decent living and wins a couple of matches, until he is faced with a very young rising contender, who had a tiger drawn on his robe and was very cocky and made fun of the father and the kid the whole time, and they have a good fight which ends in the father losing but gained the recognition of his opponent and he was taken to the hospital. he later in the day escapes with his kid to go to the entertainment park and they have a lot of fun then at the end of the day his father dies (very sad moment).
the kid moves in with his grandparents who love him but don't want him ending up as a boxer like his father, but he keeps training anyways to beat the man who defeated his father.
any help is pretty appreciated

Ah, the character's name was Horiguchi Genki wasn't it not? Didn't the ED have him and his father jogging?
The title is "Ganbare Genki," which aired from 1980-1981 on TBS. It was recently released as a 35 episode DVD-BOX from Toei this year.
