Before his matches begin, Parches enjoys meeting his fans taking pictures with them and even writing a message on the photo. Beary was excited to have the opportunity to meet his favorite boxer as he was waiting in line to meet the bear. Before his turn approached, Parches took a quick break to use the bathroom and upon returning he went from wearing his regular tank top to crop top. Beary's turn is next and he chats briefly with Parches and even gets to rub his exposed belly. The two bears pose for the picture and when the image is printed, Parches writes "thanks for the support and the belly rubs" with his name signed with "never give up" written under his name. Beary is happy to have met Parches and plans on framing it to remember the memory.
