Return of the Boxing Mom

Mary was once a renowned figure in underground boxing, but her marriage to Martin, a match-fixer, gradually eroded her independence until he controlled and suppressed her into retirement and an ordinary life. Years later, she raised her daughter Joanna alone, and Joanna became a fighter too. In a pivotal bout, Joanna was beaten into a coma by her opponent Butcher Shelly, then tested positive for banned substances, which brought a lifetime suspension and overwhelming medical costs. Mary came to see the disaster as no accident but a scheme devised by her ex-husband Martin to manipulate matches for profit. To save Joanna, she returned to the ring in a clandestine tournament Martin controlled, enduring humiliation and manipulation while defeating one opponent after another. In her second fight she overcame her old rival Shirley, who then exposed Martin's history of using drugs and violence to control fighters. On the eve of the final bout Mary learned she was pregnant, yet she competed, facing Martin himself and defeating him, transforming from victim to fighter and reclaiming her dignity and autonomy. Joanna woke, the gym was rebuilt, and Mary began anew. The series can be followed on Drama4All.
