The first opportunity for witcher Geralt to fistfight in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt presents itself outside of the Inn at White Orchard, after the protagonist's first visit. He is confronted by three mercenaries and can choose to use the Axii sign to defuse the situation to some extent by incapacitating one of the opponents, or fight them as is. If he does so, he wins 34.
In official fistfighting matches which are part of a regional tournament, Geralt cannot use any magic or weapons (however an initial Quen shield is still gained if you have the Protection glyphword as an armor enchantment). In these brawls, he enters the ring shirtless, relying entirely on his strength and agility to pound his foes.
