Summary

Everyone becomes excited by the news that Kamogawa announced about how the WBC middleweight world title match has been accepted for Takamura. Kamogawa also announces that the semi-final will be Miyata's OPBF featherweight title defence, and Aoki and Kimura will be fighting before the semi-final. Kamogawa orders Itagaki to focus on his matches for his East Japan Rookie King Tournament, and for Ippo to focus on recovering. Later, when Ippo arrives to the Kamogawa gym, Kamogawa tells him to get ready to spar as he is greeted by Otowa gym's Imai who came with his coach. Itagaki gets angry at Imai, wanting to fight him so he doesn't bother Ippo, but Imai sees Ippo as a stronger opponent and is not worried about Itagaki seeing them spar even though their in the same tournament. Ippo agrees to spar, and tells Itagaki that he will push Imai to his limits so he learns his fighting pattern, adding that he thinks Imai was being disrespectful towards him. As Ippo steps into the ring, Miyata opens a window from outside, peeking in. Takamura asks why Miyata showed up, and Miyata claims that he is the one who invited him to go to a training camp together and has been waiting outside with his father for a while. Miyata decides to stick around to see Ippo and Imai spar. The spar of two rounds begin, and Ippo gets hit immediately with a left jab, making him realise that Imai is a lot stronger than the last time they sparred.
