Jailed for manslaughter for 7 years, Tong returns to Hong Kong 11 years later a changed man. A remorseful Tong attempts to wash his arms of Muay Thai and seeks to lead a peaceful and peaceable life.

The promised purse being sufficient to raise Tong from his hand-to-mouth existence as a security guard and odd-job man and permit him to raised present for his son. Together with his stable depleted by accidents and defections, leaving him weak in some weight classes, Ko attempts to convince Tong to return to the ring.

Pat Ka Shing (Raymond Wong Ho-yin), though athletic and fit, is a newcomer to Muay Thai, saved by Ko Wai Ting from a beating by muggers, Pat joins Ko’s gym to learn enough to guard himself, however initially has no want to struggle in competitors. A pure on the sport, Pat is persuaded to fight and falls in love with the expertise; Muay Thai giving him a objective and route in life that he had previously lacked.

Whereas each positive factors from being within the ring, be it money, glory or shallowness, they each come to need to know just how good they are and which of them is the true “King of the ring”.
