5歳になる堀口元気は、ドサ回りのボクサーであり父のシャーク堀口と共に、各地を転々としながら生活を送っている。そんなある日、父のプロボクサー復帰が決定。慣れないフェザー級での試合ながら連勝を飾るが、天才ボクサー・関拳児との死闘の末、帰らぬ人となってしまう。やがて時が経ち、世界チャンピオンとなった関は、不敗の王者としてボクシング界に君臨する。一方、元気は母方の祖父母に引き取られ、田舎で何ひとつ不自由のない生活を送っていたが、志半ばで倒れた父の夢を実現するため、密かに練習に取り組む。元ボクサーの三島栄司、恩師の芦川悠子らの支えもあり成長を遂げた元気は、中学卒業と同時に単身上京、関を倒すべくプロボクサーを目指す。
