Become a Prizefighter

Become a Prizefighter is a quest in Fallout 2.

The New Reno championship is a boxing tournament that the Chosen One can join if they want to. Having a high Unarmed skill is recommended prior to attempting this quest.

Detailed walkthrough
Four different opponents will have to be defeated in order to win:
 * First fight: Joqq
 * Second fight: Pete McKneely
 * Third fight: Evan Holyfeld
 * Final fight: The Masticator

If the Chosen One goes into the Jungle Gym and talks with Stuart Little, they can box. If the Chosen One is female or has a Strength lower than 6, they will have to pass a relatively easy Speech check. They will meet four increasingly difficult opponents: Joqq ($50, 500 XP), Pete McKneely ($50, 750 XP), Evan Holyfeld ($400, 1,000 XP), and The Masticator ($1000, 2,500 XP) (if he is killed, they will face Xander Holyland instead). This is assuming that the Chosen One gets 50% of the winnings; with Speech 76% and Barter 76% the Chosen One can get 75% instead. The Chosen One can also get kill experience (XP) for any boxers beaten to death; this should happen some of the time and counts as a knockout. Other ways of winning include: "normal" knockout (if the Chosen One score a critical hit that knocks their opponent unconscious or if he himself manages a critical failure), technical knockout (if the Chosen One makes him flee), and points (if the Chosen One somehow manages to make a fight last 12 full rounds and win the majority of them by landing more punches than their opponent). If they win four matches, the Chosen One gets the Prizefighter reputation, which lets them empty the gym lockers, making the Chosen One popular in New Reno and gives them a +5% bonus to their Unarmed skill.

Should the Chosen One lose a fight or kick the boxers, they must ask Little for a rematch immediately or they won't get another chance. They will then go up against another boxer (the Chosen One's royalties will drop to 25%, but the XP gained is the same). Little can only be convinced to give one more chance (unless a bug is exploited), which means the Chosen One can fight five matches in all, and there's a tempting reason to do that (see notes below).

Behind the scenes

 * When picking the name for the box, some are silly. Among them the Chosen One can pick Balboa, Clubber Lang, Drago or Apollo - a reference to the movie series Rocky.
 * One of the possible names is Glass Joe, a reference to the game Punch-Out!!.

Bugs
If Masticator is killed, Stuart may disappear from the Jungle Gym.
