Become a Prizefighter

Become a Prizefighter is a quest in Fallout 2.

The New Reno championship is a boxing tournament that the player can join if he/she wants to. Having a high Unarmed skill is recommended prior to attempting this quest.

Walkthrough
The player will have to fight four different opponents 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, the Chosen One can box. If the Chosen One is female or has a Strength lower than 6, he/she will have to pass a relatively easy Speech check. The Chosen One will meet four increasingly difficult opponents: Joqq ($50, 500 xp), Pete McKneely ($50, 750 XP), Evan Holyfeld ($400, 1000 XP), and The Masticator ($1000, 2500 XP) (if the player kills him, he/she will face Xander Holyland instead). This is assuming that the Chosen One gets 50% of the winnings; with Speech 76% and Barter 76% Chosen One can get 75% instead. The Chosen One can also get kill XP for the boxers you manage to beat to death; this should happen some of the time and counts as a knockout. Other ways of winning include: "normal" knockout (if Chosen One score a critical hit that knocks Chosen One's 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 the Chosen One's opponent). If the player wins four matches, the Chosen One gets the Prizefighter reputation, which lets the Chosen One empty the gym lockers, making the Chosen One popular in New Reno and gives him/her a +5% bonus to Unarmed skill.

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

Behind the scenes
When picking the name for the box, some are silly. Among them the Chosen One can pick Balboa, Clubber Lang, 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 will disappear from the Gym Jungle.
