Summary
Sendō complains to Fujii about the reveal, but Ippo stopped him and explained that while Ricardo said that whoever won between Sendō and Alfredo would be his opponent, Fujii is just stating what he heard from the press conference. Fujii asks Sendō if he received a contract from Ricardo's side or if it was a spoken agreement, which Sendō answers that it was an agreement between men, so he is sure he will be the one to fight Ricardo, however, Fujii notes that Ricardo is already contracted to fight someone else. Fujii reveals that the opponent is the third ranker in the WBA, former Indonesian champion Wally. Itagaki is surprised by Wally's 25 match record, which Fujii explains that Wally has been around the world fighting in matches where a lot of his fights weren't on TV, but the reporters have claimed that if there is anyone that could stand against the incredible Omega, it would be the unknown primordial Alpha. As Sendō complains about the situation, Yanaoka enters the room to talk about something related to Hoshi.
