Muhammad Danyal Khan: Warrior | Philosopher, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

He fights with fists of steel. To win, he must master his mind.

Tony "The Spartan" Reyes has built his life on grit, pain, and unstoppable forward pressure. A former collegiate wrestler turned MMA wrecking ball, he's one win away from breaking into the Global Fighting League's elite ranks. But his greatest battles aren't just inside the cage-they're inside his own head. Raised by Martin Reyes, a decorated soldier turned fight coach, Tony learned to endure, to grind, to never back down. But when Martin is shot defending a stranger, Tony's anchor is ripped away. Grief and rage send his career spiraling: a split-draw in Vegas, a crushing submission loss, and whispers that the once-promising Spartan is "broken." At the same time, Ivan "The Siberian" Volkov-Tony's former sparring partner and now bitter rival-ruthlessly carves a path toward the welterweight championship. Ivan taunts him on live TV: "Pressure breaks the weak. Reyes is yesterday's news." The fight game is brutal, and Tony is one loss away from being cut. To survive, he'll need more than raw power. He'll need the wisdom Martin tried to teach him-the discipline to stay calm under fire, the clarity to choose the right strike at the right time, and the courage to face not just opponents but his own demons. Unexpectedly, his estranged father Andrew-a battle-tested military doctor turned philosopher-and Gina, the ICU doctor Martin saved, step into his corner to help rebuild him from the ground up.

What follows isn't just a comeback story. It's a war fought in sweat-drenched gyms, under blinding arena lights, and deep inside a fractured heart. Tony must turn philosophy into action, forge discipline from pain, and face the man who wrote him off on the biggest stage in combat sports.

If you love: Realistic MMA and fight-camp detail (wrestling, striking chess, brutal weight cuts), Underdog comebacks against impossible odds, Fierce rivalries and mental warfare inside the fight game, Father-son redemption arcs with real emotional grit ...then this novel will keep you turning pages deep into the night.

Blood. Sweat. Mind. Heart.

This isn't just a fight-it's the war that makes a man.
