At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Tony as he casually engages with Lady Jocelyn, his elderly aunt, showcasing his mischievous yet charming nature. Conversations reveal Tony's connections to the world of boxing and his ambitions for Bugg as he prepares for a crucial fight against 'Lightning Lopez.'
