Growing up, Makunouchi Ippo faced relentless bullying, leading him to be stuck with menial responsibilities and an unshakable thirst for change. Unfortunately, his lack of motivation hindered his ability to pursue his aspirations. One fateful day, Takamura Mamoru, a boxer, came to his rescue amid a brutal attack and brought him to the Kamogawa boxing gym to recover.
