There are many more things to do in Witcher 3, besides completing the main story quests and secondary quests. These additional activities are known as – fistfighting and Horse Racing. In fistfighting you will show your unarmed fighting skills. The latter enables you to equip Roach with additional saddlebags, saddles, and blinkers that help you store more equipment, increase your horse’s Stamina, and reduce Roach’s panic level.
There are a total of 13 Fistfights to attempt, 4 are in Velen, 4 are in Novigrad city and 4 are in Skellige, with a final champion bout in Skellige once all previous 12 fistfights are completed.
