November 7, 2024 – Sydney, Australia

Qudos Bank Arena – 40,000 roaring spectators

The air vibrated under the weight of the screams.

In the arena, spotlights illuminated the ring, casting shifting shadows on the padded floor.The tension was palpable, suffocating.

Every heartbeat was a countdown.

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

Milo stood at the center of the ring, shoulders raised, breathing uneven.His chest rose and fell erratically.

His gaze was locked on the man in front of him.

A titan. A wall of flesh and power.

An opponent built to crush those who dared challenge him.

But Milo was still standing.

A war had already left its marks.

His body bore the imprint of every round.

His ribs screamed from the impacts absorbed.His split brow let a trickle of blood roll down his cheek.His legs felt like lead; every step required a titanic effort.

But he stood firm. Because he didn't know how to do otherwise.

His opponent stood there, impassive, an icy gaze locked onto his.

A colossus, used to breaking his opponents, dictating the pace, crushing those who hesitated.

A monster who, until now, had dominated everything.

But now, he knew.

This kid wouldn't fold.

FINAL ROUND.

The giant screen displayed the remaining time.

Three minutes.

One hundred and eighty seconds.

A ridiculous span of time, yet enough to make history.

The referee stepped forward. A suspended moment.

Milo didn't look away. He read it in his opponent's eyes.

Respect.

He felt it. This was no longer just a fight.

This was a test.

The ultimate challenge.

DING!

Lightning struck.

A point of no return.

Milo moved instinctively.

His legs traced a fluid circle around the ring, dodging the brutal pressure of his opponent.

The tension surged.

Fists flew.

A ferocious hook came at him. Clean dodge.

A heavy straight punch partially connected. Impact. Pain. He took it.

But he didn't step back. He retaliated.

A surgical jab. Then another.

His opponent pivoted, trying to trap him into a physical exchange.

But Milo was no longer the same fighter from the early rounds.

He adapted.

His unpredictable style erupted under the spotlights.

Feint. Movement. Lightning-fast uppercut.

The crowd exploded.

The moment everything shifted.

Seconds raced. The arena was on fire.

A final exchange. A battle of titans.

A crushing straight punch, launched from both sides.A perfect dodge.An opening.

Milo pivoted in a fraction of a second.

His hook landed with surgical precision.

BOOM.

His opponent's chin took the full impact.

The colossus staggered.

A millisecond where the world held its breath.

But he didn't fall.

Respect was etched into history.

The bell rang.

IT'S OVER! WHAT A FIGHT!!

The crowd roared. The commentators screamed.

There was no KO.

No official winner.

But the message had been sent.

Milo extended his hand to his opponent, locking eyes with him.

He inhaled, every muscle aching, then exhaled:

— Thank you for this fight. You're my idol. It's an honor to share the ring with you.

The man in front of him slowly nodded. His gaze was sincere.

— You're special. Stay focused... and you'll go far.

Milo wasn't leaving with a belt.

But tonight, the world knew his name.

🌧 May 2, 2022 – Lyon, France

The day everything changed.

"Some fight for glory.""Others for money.""Me... I fight because I never had a choice."

"My father taught me to stand tall, to clench my fists, to never back down.""But he never taught me how to survive without him."

"So I did the only thing I knew... I punched.""Until my fists bled. Until I felt nothing."

"And that's when it all began."
