Synopsis

Holding Japan’s featherweight title has given Ippo new responsibilities, not an end to his search for strength. Defending the belt brings him face to face with former gymmate Naomichi, while Miyata pursues a championship on the wider Asian stage.

At Kamogawa Gym, Takamura prepares for a world-title challenge against the fearsome Bryan Hawk, pushing his body and resolve to their limits. As their peers pursue ambitions of their own, Ippo and his teammates confront the distance between winning locally and standing among the world’s best.
