Montbray, once an industrial powerhouse, has spiraled into a crime-ridden landscape where a local fighter rose to championship glory.

After defeating his rival, 36-year-old Duke Weathers, the champion retreated to a life of luxury with his 20-year-old fiancée, Izzy.

This complacency proved fatal when he faced 25-year-old street brawler Gage McNeal.

Ignoring the warnings of his 53-year-old trainer, Derrick, the champion was brutally defeated and hospitalized by McNeal’s primal intensity.

Seeking redemption, Derrick moved the trio to Mexico for three months of grueling, isolated training. They returned to a chaotic Montbray for a high-stakes rematch. At the press conference, McNeal unleashed vile psychological warfare against the champion and Izzy. Now, tempered by exile and fueled by his trainer’s discipline and his fiancée's resolve, the former champion enters the ring to silence his tormentor and reclaim his legacy.

I created this work because I enjoyed watching the movie Rocky III.
