A day passed, and the focus in the gym shifted.
The day was devoted solely to training, sharpening skills, and preparing for the semifinals.
Since Damon just recently fought, his match with Kofi would come after Ivan and Brian's fight.
That meant Ivan got more attention from the coaches during the sessions, as they prepared him for what could be the most crucial fight of his career.
Damon, though still training hard, found himself in the background.
But that didn't bother him, it gave him time to reflect, to refine his own skills without the spotlight.
He knew that when it was his turn, all eyes would be on him and Kofi.
For now, he was content to stay in the shadows, watching, waiting, and preparing.

The gym went quiet for a moment, and Damon leaned back against the wall and took a big breath.
The coaches had stepped out, giving him a rare moment of solitude.
