Suggested level: 11
Location: Velen
You will receive this quest when you read the "Fist Fights" note posted on the Crow's Perch Notice Board or when you take part in one of the fights.
Note: The order in which you defeat the first three opponents does not matter.
When Geralt found out a fistfighting circuit was operating in Velen, he decided to test his strength and enter. You must know Velen bouts were remarkable for their dirty and no-holds-barred fighting, but to someone who fights monsters dirtily and leaves no holds untried on a daily basis, this was no worry.

You'll find Fishgulper near the Lindenvale Inn. To start a fight, talk to the bookie and make a bet, 1 - 70 crowns.
Before you start, Fishgulper will ask to speak to you in private. He knows he can't beat you, but he really needs the prize which is some food. You can choose to throw the match or not.
If you do throw it, you can then do a rematch, this time beating him. If you don't throw the match, you can speak with him after the fight and offer him some money (5 crowns) so he can buy food for his family. After winning the fight you will receive 25 XP.
You'll find Smithy (he is level 9) in the Inn at the Crossroads. As in the previous case, talk to the bookie, place a bet (1 - 70 crowns) and beat your opponent. You will receive 25 XP when you win.
To face Jonah (he is level 6) you must go to Blackbough. This time you can bet 1-50 crowns. You will receive 25 XP when you win.
When you beat the last of your opponents, the bookie will tell you to go to Crow's Perch and face the sergeant who is the champion of Velen.
As any half-intelligent odds-maker would have predicted, Geralt defeated all the regional champions and was granted to the right to fight for the Velen title.
Go to the baron's castle and talk to the sergeant. He is level 12. This time you can bet 1 - 80 crowns. You will receive 75 XP when you win.
The final bout was no walk in the park, but thanks to his well-honed skills and a bit of luck, Geralt emerged victorious. From then on he was known throughout Velen as "That Bloody Outsider Who Defeated Our Best Lads."
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quest Fists of Fury: Champion of Champions.
