Yugi and Joey's Promise Duel is a Duel played between Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler after the events of Battle City, as part of a promise they made at the beginning of said tournament.
Prior events
Before Battle City, Joey Wheeler was ambushed and trounced by a Rare Hunter, losing "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" before the tournament even began. At the start of Battle City, Joey's first move was to find the man who beat him and reclaim his lost card, as well as his lost dignity. However, the Rare Hunter no longer had an interest in him, but in Yugi Muto, who he challenged instead, with Joey's "Red-Eyes" on the line.
After his victory over the Rare Hunter, Yugi tried to return the card, but was refused by Joey, who said that he didn't feel he had earned it back. He made Yugi promise that at the end of this tournament, they would have their own Duel, to determine if Joey was really worthy of having "Red-Eyes" back.
The Duel
At the end of Battle City, after the duo had said their goodbyes to everyone who was leaving Domino City after the end of the tournament, the two Duelists made good on their promise, and their Duel began. However, nothing is known of the actual Duel itself, nor of the cards the Duelists used during the Duel.
The only thing known of the Duel is that the next time "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" is seen again (in the Waking the Dragons arc of the anime or the battle with Zorc Necrophades in the manga), it is seen in Joey's possession rather than Yugi's. Whether Joey won the Duel or not is left ambiguous, but one thing is made clear: regardless of the outcome of the Duel, Joey proved himself worthy of holding "Red-Eyes" again.
