In the vibrant streets of Macao, a legacy of boxing excellence is being passed down through three generations. Alvin Salinas, recently graduated from university, is setting his sights on becoming a true boxing legend. His journey is guided by the seasoned expertise of his coach, former Asian champion Ng Kuok Kun, affectionately known as \"The Macao Kid.\"
Supporting Alvin's pursuit is 90-year-old Chan Iok Seng, a pillar in the Macao boxing community who has dedicated over six decades to training pugilists for combat in the “squared circle.” Chan's unwavering commitment and wealth of experience provide a strong foundation for Alvin's aspirations.
As Alvin prepares for his first professional bout, the sacrifices required to achieve success become evident. Early mornings, rigorous training sessions, and the constant pressure to perform are just a few of the challenges he faces. Despite these hurdles, the unbreakable bond between master and student fuels their collective dream of bringing boxing glory to Macao.
This intergenerational collaboration exemplifies the enduring spirit of Macao's boxing scene, where passion and perseverance converge to create champions.
