Sebelum bertarung dengan Miyata, Ippo harus menghadapi champion carnival dulu. Eiji memberi informasi tentang lawan Ippo selanjutnya, Keiichi Take. Ternyata Keiichi adalah petinju yang dahulu ditakuti Eiji! Baru kali ini, Ippo merasa gugup dan gelisah menghadapi pertandingan. Apa sebenarnya yang ditakuti Eiji dari Keichi!?
The match between Makunouchi and Sisfa coms to an end, and the Kamogawa Gym Carnival begins. Itagaki, Kimura and Aoki furnish the opening matches, and Takamura defends his 2nd world title against Ricky Mouse (yes, yet another ridiculous name for an American boxer...) The volume ends with a poetic note, supplied by Nekota-san.

Ugh, this arc sucks. The dropped match with Miyata, The "fate" theme repeated over and over, the Gedo fight... Just a weak arc in an otherwise great series.
