In Piri Thomas's “Amigo Brothers”, a boy named Felix is scheduled to box his best friend Antonio. The boys decide to split apart and not see each other until the fight because Felix was focused on winning that the fight and becoming the champion.

So as you could see their are multiple occasions where Felix realized and shows that his friendship could be everlasting but a medal or trophy will not be too
