This plot occurs when a bully and their victim — who is often the protagonist — face off in a challenge. Sometimes it's a traditional fight, which often results in the victim getting a Boxing Lesson. Other times it's an actual contest in a field the bully believes the protagonist will have no talent in. Sometimes someone will set up the challenge for the protagonist in the assumption that they'll win, or the protagonist themselves will make the declaration, but there must be an actual challenge offered for this trope to occur. If the protagonist is the one to make the declaration, they're usually fighting for someone other than themselves.
