The first official, one-night-only event that brings the manga's world into the real ring will feature seven live professional boxing bouts; an art exhibition of the original manga including rare artwork(s); immersive anime-inspired visuals, banners, and boxing ring atmosphere; and a live talk session, in a rare public appearance by manga creator Joji Morikawa.

International fans of the franchise also have the chance to score tickets through the event's official website (the website currently operates as a waitlist landing page for pre-registration for international fans). Fans who sign up on the website can gain early access to ticket sales and receive event updates. Ticket sales for international fans with early access registration is scheduled in late July, and general ticket sales in Japan and overseas is scheduled in early August.
