The sound of boxing gloves hitting the sacks of padding and the smell of sweat and effort fill the air.

It ends the sequence of blows with a perfect cross before taking off the gloves and approaching the ropes of the ring. "Hi, love," says Mavie, smiling lovingly. Bernardo jumps out of the ring with agility and hugs her warmly, ignoring the sweat that drips through his body. Carlos, the coach, watches with an affectionate smile. "She is her deserved rest, boy.
