Summary
Wally enters the Marvelous Gym, excited to see Volg. Volg is not as excited to be his sparring partner since he has an upcoming match as well, making it possible to not get out of unscathed. Dankichi explains to Miguel how he can't let them spar since they may get serious, however, he prepared three world rankers to swap out with Volg, adding that everyone respects Wally and him since challenging Ricardo is enough for one to recognise their courage. Volg informs Wally that he will be the main event for his own semi, and that they will be sharing the training camp. Dankichi welcomes Wally into "Team White Fang," and Volg gives him the team's shirt with a wolf logo on it to wear. Dankichi mentions to Volg how Wally can't be handled as an opponent, remembering how when they first met Wally, he was still growing with only three matches, but now they can see what kind of boxer he turned into. Elsewhere, Bill details Wally's record to Ricardo, noting how he has a match or more per month, which makes it likely that he rarely gets hit while fighting despite not being a defensive boxer, and that he clearly enjoys himself while boxing. Ricardo asks about his one loss, which Bill answers that he has the video of that match, but due to the fact that Wally most likely loss due to the lack of experience, it won't be useful, however, he adds that Wally's opponent was Ippo. Hearing Ippo's name again, Ricardo thinks that it is as if the wheel of fate revolves around Ippo despite him being outside of it.
