The Weekend Champion

Ethan Cross works forty hours a week in a factory and spends his weekends in an underground boxing ring. After ninety-six fights, he has never lost. To the crowds that gather in a forgotten warehouse every Friday night, Ethan is a legend. To his coworkers, he is simply the dependable man who returns every Monday with fresh bruises. He pays his opponents' medical bills, teaches young fighters, and tells himself that discipline makes the violence responsible.
Then a former opponent dies, another fighter suffers a career-ending injury, and the warehouse faces permanent closure. Daniel Hale has studied Ethan for seventeen years. He knows every movement, every habit, and every breath Ethan takes between exchanges. But Daniel's obsession has cost him his career, his family's trust, and much of the life he meant to build. When the two men finally meet in the warehouse's last fight, each must confront what his pursuit of victory has demanded from everyone around him.
The Weekend Champion is a character-driven boxing drama about ambition, accountability, and discovering who you are when the record that defined you is gone.
