Summary

As Takamura and Yagi commence their fishing competition, Yagi, despite knowing that fish are biting, refuses to catch the fish to let Takamura win. However, Takamura keeps failing at reeling one in, making Yagi frustrated at him. Ippo, Kimura, Aoki, and Itagaki are worried about them, and, after hearing from Miyata that Takamura didn't catch a single fish at the training camp, the group rushes over to he fishing spot. They are shocked to discover that there is a sign that says "no Takamura's allowed". When they go back to the gym, they were shocked to see Takamura in high spirits and learned that the fishing match ended in a draw after Takamura went into the water and grabbed three fish, making the two fishers get thrown out. With the entire card for Takamura's world title match against Eagle now known, Yagi announces that with Takamura fighting the WBC middleweight world champion Eagle, Miyata in the semi-finals will be fighting the third OPBF ranker Thai boxer Medgoen Dachboy in his fourth OPBF featherweight title defence. Yagi also reveals that Kimura will be fighting the Filipino junior lightweight champion Eleki Battery, while Aoki will be fighting the Indonesian lightweight champion Papaya Dachiu, who has a punch called the "Coconut Punch". While everyone laughed at Eleki's name, everyone laughed harder at Papaya's name, appearance, and imagining getting hit with a coconut. Takamura tells Aoki and Kimura if they don't win, they will have to get the same haircut as their opponents, causing the two to get fired up to win.
