Plot Summary: Guy Hyuga is a Japanese brawler in New York who moonlights as an instructor for his father's karate dojo. Despite his talent in fighting, he initially shows no interest to become a boxer, seeing it as a prostitution of his body for entertainment. After Guy reluctantly saves a boxing coach named Alex Gordon from local hoodlums, their retaliation ends up hospitalising his father. So Guy decides to take up boxing with the hope that he can raise enough money as a heavyweight to fund a life-saving operation while the latter lies in the hospital.
