Deprived of his kicking ability and agility, Boyka recovers first by relying on his endurance and pain tolerance, persevering past some devastating hits. Dolor takes an early lead with his exceptionally quick hand blocks and strikes, as well as exacerbating the problems with Boyka's weak knee by using a submission hold on it. Knowing he has lost all support, he commits himself to ruining their wagers by defeating Dolor in the newly improvised final round. Freed, Turbo makes a run for the forest.īoyka is returned to the prison where he is confronted by Rezo, Warden Kuss, and Gaga.


Caught trying to break their chain, the two fight off the guards long enough to get a key.

Turbo initially disagrees, until another prisoner reveals that the losers are executed. Knowing that Turbo used to be in the military, the plan is to escape to the forest where the security is lightest and survive long enough to eventually get in touch with the black market. When the prisoners are taken for the next round of hard labor, Boyka tries to convince Turbo into escaping rather than face Dolor wounded. Realizing that Boyka and Turbo are stronger than predicted, Rezo and Warden Kuss arrange to have the guards beat Turbo to a bloody pulp. In the semi-finals, Boyka defeats Silva by making him tap out to a triangle choke he helps his opponent up and commends him for a good fight. In addition to reciting, 'Improvise, Adapt, Overcome' as part of his training, he recommends some holistic medicine for Boyka to soothe his knee. With Turbo's attitude eroding, he starts showing signs that his ego evolved from a highly disciplined past as a U.S. They both start using the hard labor as part of their training. Meanwhile, Boyka and Turbo slowly develop a trust in each other and focus their attention at beating Dolor in the tournament. Realizing that the loyalty to their fighters only extend to their payout, Gaga and Farnatti agree to this arrangement. He advises them to liquefy their assets and place their bets on Dolor to ensure their profit. Upon hearing of the prison's treatment of their fighters, the two mob bosses confront Warden Kuss, but PSC mastermind Rezo explains to them that the tournament has always been fixed to ensure the 'highest profit at the lowest risk'. They are eventually released due to some manipulations by their managers Gaga and mafia don Gio Farnatti, who are old friends and rivals. The next day, Turbo instigates a fight with Boyka before both men are thrown into solitary confinement. Boyka, Turbo, Dolor, and Brazilian fighter Andriago Silva advance to the second round of the tournament while the losing fighters are sent home, only to be shot dead by waiting guards. During his stay, Boyka gets into odds with an American boxer Jericho 'Turbo' Jones who is shown to be disrespectful, insubordinate, and a loudmouth. Though the fighters are allowed one hour each day for training, they are still grouped into the general population for hard labor while Colombian fighter and local inmate Raul 'Dolor' Quiñones is given private sparring sessions and a regimen of performance-enhancing drugs.

Just after current champion Vladimir Sykov defeats his opponent in the final round of the prison's tournament, Boyka challenges him on the spot and swiftly defeats him, thus becoming the Russian representative for the PSC.īoyka is transferred to Gorgon prison in the Republic of Georgia where he is joined by a diverse group of eight international prison fighters. As Boyka hears the preliminaries taking place within his prison, as well as failing in his parole, he begins training privately to bring his knee back into fighting shape. Meanwhile, mob boss Gaga has expanded his prison tournament enterprise into an inter-prison tournament called the Prison Spetz Competition (PSC), which gathers the best prison fighters from around the globe to compete for a chance at a cleared record and early release. Humbled by his injury, he has relegated to becoming the prison janitor. Years have passed since Yuri Boyka suffered a humiliating defeat and a broken knee at the hands of George 'Iceman' Chambers.
