In the not so distant future corrupt and ineffective governments no longer rule the people of earth. Large corporations such as Aerotech, Ben Clair Oil and Delcosmetics control everything from the police force to sporting events. For corporate big wigs life is fantastic and everything is at their disposal, but for the masses life is hard and tedious. The only thing that the "corporates" and the common man have in common is sport and their is only one sport...Super Boxing. Near superhuman athletes wear body armor, jet boots and superpowered gloves to boost their already considerable attributes to levels so powerful that every bout could end in death. Roman Alexis is the corporate champion born and bred to be the best, undefeated in 200 bouts. Max Turner is a near perfect specimen who fights in the rough underground rings, he is undefeated except for 2 draws. Max's fierce fighting and impressive record draws the attention of the corporate higher ups who set-up a match between Roman and Max. It's big business versus the common man and only one can survive.
