Summary
Days later, Itagaki is informed by staff at the Kamogawa gym that Hoshi has requested a match against him, with a deal that it has to be in Osaka and that if Itagaki loses, Hoshi gets to fight Ippo for the JBC title. However, since Itagaki is a six-rounder and needs to be an eight-rounder to fight against an JBC ranker, Itagaki is scheduled to fight in one more six round match to become an eight-rounder. Kamogawa kicks Itagaki out after he asked when Ippo would relinquish his belt, wanting him to focus what is in front of him first. Kamogawa tells Yagi and Shinoda how it is true that they haven't been able to relinquish the JBC belt due to Ippo and Miyata's fight being delayed, however, he doesn't believe that they aren't fated to meet. Kamogawa asks Shinoda if Itagaki's injuries are healed, which Shinoda informs him that they are. Three weeks later, Itagaki arrives to the Kōrakuen Hall to fight in his six round match. When the match begins, Itagaki has trouble dodging his opponent's attacks due to seeing his opponent attack with a weird rhythm. After having a slug match at the final sixth round, Itagaki wins by decision.
