How Many Gloves Stands Are In Slap Battles

This is the story of a man who lived without friends, without family, and without attachments. He was an ordinary man, unnoticed by the world, living in complete solitude. But one day, everything changed. During an accident, he saved a girl’s life—a girl who wasn’t just anyone. She was Lia Everhart, the most stunning beauty in the city and the daughter of a prestigious, powerful family. From that moment, her heart belonged to him. "You saved my life, so my whole life belongs to you." But he rejected her. "You will not be happy as my wife." She refused to back down. She would do anything for him. And in the end, he accepted her love. But their marriage had to be a secret. She came from an influential family, while he was just a nobody. Or at least… that’s what she thought. Because behind his quiet and ordinary life, he carried many identities—ones that could shake the entire world. And soon, she would realize… her husband was never meant to be ordinary.

He fights for survival. She fights for love. In the brutal world of underground boxing, where fists carve destinies and love is a dangerous game, Alexander "The Revenant" Voss is a man haunted by demons. Scarred by a childhood of violence and a past soaked in blood, he believes he is incapable of love—until he meets Eve Laurent, a psychologist who sees through his armor. Their romance is as dark as it is beautiful, built on pain, passion, and the promise of something neither of them truly believes they deserve. But love is never enough. When the past returns with a vengeance, Alexander is forced to choose between redemption and destruction, between the ring and the woman who holds his fragile soul. In the end, some battles can only be won by losing everything.
