After confirming that Chris and Danny are going to fight each other, Knuckles goes over how he can arrange their boxing match to happen.

"Alright. Now I've got some connections that can get you two a boxing ring to fight in!" Knuckles explains he has some contacts to get things underway.

"Y-you do?!" Chris asks, surprised that he can get things together so fast.

"Yeah. I spar at some of the local gyms sometimes, so I can call in a few favors." Knuckles points out that he's well known at some boxing gyms around town.

"Okay. Um what should we wear for the fight?" Danny asks Knuckles as they continue planning the fight.

" That's up to the two of you to decide. And don't worry about boxing gloves. We'll provide them for you guys. Right size and everything. I'm going to make some calls." Knuckles excuses himself to place the calls make appropriate reservations.

"Well I for one want this to be as much like a boxing match as possible." Chris says, wanting their match to have a feel of authenticity to it.

"Definitely! So um, we can do boxing gloves." Danny starts with the most obvious attire.

"And boxers usually wear trunks. I think shorts would do. I got a pair of blue shorts I could wear." Chris comes up with a substitute for boxing trunks they can wear.

"And I've got a pair of yellow ones that would work. Okay, our normal shoes should do too. That just leaves what shirts to wear. Tank tops, t shirts with logos..." Danny agrees, then continues the train of thought.

"Well, if we want it to be more like a professional boxing match, don't they usually not wear any shirts?" Chris adds.

"Okay. We'll fight without them then." Danny agrees.

"Sure. Now we just have to find out where we'll fight." Chris replies, wondering where the actual fight will take place, since Knuckles left before giving any plans.

"We should probably tell everyone that we're going to fight, too." and Danny finally comes to an important topic.

"Yeah. I wonder how they'll react?" Chris ponders what their friends' reactions of their impending battle will be.

Soon, everybody's been called to gather in one of the mansion's larger rooms by Knuckles, little mention as to why.

"Hey guys! What's up?" Sonic asks everybody, finally entering the room.

"I don't know. Knuckles said that Chris and Danny had an announcement to make." Tails shrugs, also in the dark for the gathering.

" Announcement? Hm. That's different. What's with the cameras?" Sonic points out some television cameras located around the room…

Soon Amy, Cream, and Cheese enter the room, also summoned for the announcement.

"I wonder what's going on?" Cream asks.

"Chao!" Cheese replies, possibly saying he doesn't know either.

"Who knows?" Amy shrugs from a nearby seat.

"We'll find out soon I guess. Chuck, do you know what's going on? You are Chris's grandfather after all. Why are there cameras here?" Tails asks Chris' grandfather if he has any information.

"Can't say that I do, Tails. Not sure about the cameras either." Chuck shrugs, not having any idea either.

"We'll all find out together what Master Chris and his friend Danny have to say." Mr. Tanaka states, awaiting an explanation.

Finally, Knuckles enters the room and approaches a podium and microphone to address everybody gathered together on short notice.

"Everyone's all here? Good! Come on you guys!" Knuckles motions to Chris and Danny to enter the room.
