The Fear Fighter

In the dusty, high-stakes world of 1920s pugilism, Billy Griffin finds himself in a romantic and physical bind that defies logic. Deeply in love with Catherine Curtis, he discovers that the gatekeeper to her heart is her father, James Curtis—a man who doesn't just promote fights, but lives for them. To earn Catherine’s hand, Billy is forced into a barbaric ritual: a boxing match against his potential father-in-law. Billy, a man who knows as much about a left hook as he does about quantum physics, is promptly decimated and sent into a state of total amnesia. What follows is a bizarre odyssey through the penal system, where a chance encounter with a veteran brawler in a jail cell transforms Billy from a dazed romantic into a lethal fighting machine. His rise through the ranks of the light heavyweight division is meteoric, yet he remains a man without a past, fighting under a cloud of forgotten identity. The climax arrives in a championship bout where the stakes are his sanity and his future, triggered by a woman’s desperate, stinging insults intended to wake the sleeping giant within.
