Summary

The press conference begins, a reporter asks Takamura what the outcome of the match will be, he proclaims it won't end on a decision, the championship will change places by KO. Fujii asks Hawk why he antagonises his opponent on his first title defence and on enemy territory. After the champion ignores the question, Miguel Zale answers that Hawk doesn't feel uneasy and provoking his opponent is part of his personality, he finishes saying, that the belt will return to America. Mari asks the champion if that is how he really feels, but Hawk tells her his hotel room number, asking to come visit at any time. The press conference ends, Takamura and Hawk are asked to do a fighting pose. When they are asked to put their fists under each others jaw, Hawk hits Takamura in the jaw on purpose. As Takamura get angry, Ippo, Aoki, Kimura, and Itagaki holds him down. Takamura then tells the group that they were suppose to stop Kamogawa, who is now holding Hawk by his collar. Hawk slaps Kamogawa away, Ippo and the others are frozen as Takamura gets enraged. Hawk then goes on a frenzy, insulting Takamura and asking to gather all the Japanese women to his hotel room to spread his genes across Japan, he then walks out saying that when the match is over, they'll want his genes. As Takamura is furious, he claims he will finish it in the ring.
