To fight Olaf you must first complete the other 3 fistfights on The Skellige Isles.
The first one is in Kaer Trolde Harbor - town in the north of main island)
the second in Arinbjorn - far west on the main island)
the third in Harviken - small island in the south-east

The fight against Olaf then takes place on Urialla Harbor (small island in the north of the map). Go to the arena to start the fight.
You don't necessarily need to be the recommended levels as long you know what you're doing (dodge, counter attack ect..)

I have defeated Olaf twice, achievement won't pop still says 0%, this one is definitely bugged

Fifth time's a charm just kept reloading and beating him until it popped.

This may help someone who was having the same issue as I was. After reloading around 10 times the achievement wouldn't unlock, I finally decided to change the difficulty setting and do the fight again. It may have just been a coincidence, but it unlocked on my first try after doing this.

Another thing to consider.
As the fight initiated I noticed Geralt was still wearing his gauntlets, so I tried to reload save and then removed them right befored the start of the fight. And it worked the achievement popped for me right after. It surely is a bugged since you are suppose to fit with "bare hands"

Didn’t pop for me so i went to reload the game, and during the reload it popped

By MiZ Dove OG on 19 May 2018 15:10

I thought it didn't work for me and was about to reload, but after a minute or so it popped

By MrFlores42 on 29 Apr 2020 18:08

I can beat the bear with bare hands in "Death March!" without any damage now. Reloaded more than 10 times, changed the difficulty level, hard reset, and, it still wont come out.
HELP!

Before you can actually face off against Olaf, you must first complete the other three fistfights in Skellige through the "Fists of Fury: Skellige" side quest, which is triggered by reading a "fist fights" note on a notice board in any of the towns/villages of the isles. The first of these fights is located in Kaer Trolde Harbor, the large town on the northwestern front of Ard Skellig. The second of these fights is located in Arinbjorn, the village on the southwestern front of Ard Skellig. The third fistfight is located in Harviken, the small island in the southeast of the world map.

Once those have all been completed, you can then find Olaf on Urialla Harbor, the small island in the north of the region. Head over to the arena here and talk to the bookie in order to start the fight. When the bout begins, dodge Olaf’s attacks (dodge, not block), and then throw 1-2 heavy punches at him before you dodge again. Keep repeating this tactic until Olaf has been defeated. The achievement will unlock when you finish speaking to the bookie after the fight and collect your reward.

a very easy trophy, I fought with the most experienced fighters who were 10 lvl higher than me.

tactics: the enemy attacks, make a counterattack, inflict a couple of blows on him and then again, just be more careful and knock him down with 1 blow

By sadist70rus on 24 May 2015 17:05

In fact, all fist fights are fought the same way. We keep our distance, the enemy swings a powerful attack, press L2 and quickly attack three times, jump back to zero. We repeat. The tactics are the same with a bear, you just have to wait until he makes a dash in your direction, dodge and stick. I beat opponents 10 levels higher than myself.

In fact, it’s best to go through fist fights after completing the story, so that you can easily change the difficulty level and not have to resort to long game downloads

By edward_x41 on 22 Sep 2017 00:22

If you come to this trophy at least level 25, there will be no problems at all. It's unlikely to kill you.

By Skif on 12 Sep 2015 18:25

The trophy is taken even if your opponent is ten levels higher than you. We come close and start spamming

Most of the hits will be blocked. But even the strongest opponents don’t block 100%, so we just spam a strong blow and that’s it. He will not be able to escape from the spam, so a maximum of a couple of minutes and the enemy will be defeated.
