The Abysmal Brute explores the collision of innocence and the brutal world of professional boxing. The protagonist, a young and gifted fighter, carries the legacy of his father's prowess while remaining untouched by the sport's corruption, having been raised in the wilderness. He enters the boxing world with raw talent but little understanding of its darker realities. His journey begins when a fight manager learns of his remarkable strength and potential through a mysterious letter, prompting him to find the young fighter and his reclusive father. As the boxer steps into the ring, the initial reactions to his abilities are filled with scepticism, highlighting his unpolished nature. Throughout the story, both the young fighter and his manager grapple with the pressures of fame, the exploitation within the sport, and the challenge of maintaining integrity in a world that thrives on manipulation. The novel probes the contrast between the purity of the young fighter's character and the harshness of the environment he must navigate, revealing the complexity of both the individual and the world of professional boxing.
