Summary
Ippo goes to the Kōrakuen Hall and becomes nervous since he is there to watch Miyata's match, and has to meet up with Kumi. Kumi arrives and congratulates Ippo on his recent victory. As Kumi asks Ippo who is fighting, they are surprised when the uninvited Mashiba comes up behind them and answers that it is Miyata's OPBF title defence. The trio enters the venue to watch Miyata's fifth OPBF title defence match against Choi Jong-bong. At the audience area, Ippo asks Mashiba when his junior lightweight title defence for the Champion Carnival will happen. Mashiba answers that it is in April, but no opponent has been decided yet. Mashiba claims he has one guy that he needs to pay back. Ippo asks who in the junior lightweights he needs to pay back. Ippo gets scared as Mashiba grinds his teeth and asks him who said it was in that weight class. As the match between Miyata and Choi is about to begin, the two boxers appear in the ring.
