About Megalo Box:
The series takes place in a future Japan where licensed citizens live in a wealthy city while, on the outskirts of this city, there is a slum town where unlicensed citizens live. Megalo Boxing is a popular sport in this world similar to boxing, except the boxers fight while wearing a metal frame which makes their attacks much more lethal. Junk Dog is a young man who fights in illegal underground rings in fights that have a fixed result where his coach Gansaku Nanbu directs him on when to lose a match.
One evening he almost crashes his motorcycle into Yukiko Shirato and picks a fight with her bodyguard Yūri who is also the top-ranked Megalo Boxer. Yukiko stops the battle, but Yūri seeks out Junk Dog and meets him in the underground ring where he easily beats the less-experienced fighter. He tells him to fight him again in Megalonia, for which Junk Dog would need a place at the top of the official Megalo Box rankings and proper citizenship ID to enter and get his revenge.
