No doubt the history of YIP man is very different with that shown in the movie IP Man. The film loosely portrayed his life. There are lots of historical inaccuracies in the movie. Like you asked about the duel, Wiki states it never happened.
Another movie review also seconds this fact:
After witnessing repeated Japanese brutality, Man decides that he will seek revenge by fighting in Japanese General Miura’s martial arts dojo – where the General is trying to prove the supremacy of Japanese martial arts over Chinese. As Ip Man tries to rebuild his life, the General seeks him out for a final showdown.
Historically, it’s mostly fairytale, but the heart pounding patriotism and simple tale of good vs evil makes for a fantastic film.
