A boxing or street-fighting activity is implied by Trailer 2's brawl shots — clenched fists, a clear duel framing, and a crowd staging that reads more like an organised match than a chaotic gang scuffle. Whether this is a ring-based career mode, a bar-brawl minigame, or both, isn't yet shown by Rockstar. The in-fiction precedent points to a structured fight ladder: GTA San Andreas had gym-taught moves at three city gyms, and Vice City Stories included an underground boxing ring. GTA 6's hand-to-hand combat looks dramatically deeper from the trailer footage — animation blending, weight-aware impacts, and a more grounded posture system. A dedicated fight activity is the natural place to surface those mechanics. Look for venue locations across Vice City Beach and Little Cuba, with stake-betting and reputation feeding into other social systems. Jason's grounded body type and Lucia's quicker frame might steer them toward different fight styles — the marketing has played up both as physical actors. If an underground fight-club style ladder ships, expect it to be one of the activities Rockstar reveals closer to launch — historically these social side-systems show up in the marketing's second wave alongside the deeper economy details. The Vice City setting also raises the possibility of a Cuban-American boxing-gym arc that doubles as a side-story chain, with named coaches, regional rivalries, and a reputation system that affects how NPCs react to the protagonists on the street. None of this is confirmed, but the genre-fiction setup is unmistakable. For now, what's clearest is the visual intent: fighting in GTA 6 is being framed as a serious, weight-aware combat system rather than the floaty fist-fights of older entries — and a dedicated activity slot is the perfect showcase for it.
