How to unlock the Prizefighter achievement in Yakuza 0 - Definitive Guide
Luckily, endless rout is a surprisingly easy battle mode, so this achievement isn't nearly as hard as it may otherwise appear. 98% of your time working towards this will be on grinding out coliseum wins and earnings in order to unlock the endless rout option. You need a "B" ranking in the coliseum, which is 200 mil in winnings, in order to move on to the endless rout, and while this may take some time, it's not nearly as bad as some of the other grindy achievements in this game.
The quickest way to get a B rank in the coliseum is to work your way up to the "Abyssal Romp" fight, which is the 8th fight and requires a D rank to unlock, and then use that fight as the grind. In this fight, the floor gives way in concentric circles and you just want to get your opponent to fall off as quickly as possible either by fighting/pushing them off, or simply avoiding them and hoping they fall off on their own which they often do with reckless abandon. Most of my rounds lasted around 10-30 seconds, so I managed to complete a full 3 round tournament in around 2 minutes with load screens. For the fight I used a nearly fully upgraded Kiryu and chose the bat option simply because I was comfortable with it. There's about 8 different enemies you can run into here, but the only 2 that really gave me any trouble were Invisible Hanzo and Vengeful Otake. Hanzo is annoying to fight with his array of attacks, but if you just keep your distance more often than not he'll just cartwheel to his death. I found aggressively attacking Otake immediately to be best, as his multiple gunshot attack will shred your health. Otherwise, I was making just over 7 mil a tournament and with needing 170 mil to go from D to B, you'll need about 25-30 attempts given a few losses sprinkled in. So some grind, but easily done in 1-2 hours depending on how much coliseum fighting you've done prior to going for this achievement.
Now, once you've gotten a B rank and unlocked endless rout you may be apprehensive about what comes next. I went in with no knowledge and expected something akin to climax battles, aka some garbage RNG and increasingly hard opponents. Luckily, from the time you unlock endless rout to the time you unlock this achievement should take all of 5-10 minutes. Upon starting it, you have a bunch of purchase options. Go with what you're comfortable with, but I found the basic hand to hand brawler for Kiryu to be best simply because it does a lot of damage and they're simple fights. Once you start, you'll face 5 random opponents in a row. These guys are not the same as the coliseum fighters and are laughably easier. I averaged 2-4 seconds per guy. Once you beat all 5 you'll be asked if you want to continue. Hit yes, you'll be given options for healing and then rinse and repeat 5 more times. Once you beat 30 guys, which is tracked on the endless rout purchase screen, your achievement should pop. I'm not sure how RNG dependent the enemy types are, but I had mostly the weakest olive green enemies with a few blue ones peppered in all the way up to 30. However, I kept going after 30 and immediately had yellow suited enemies who were beefier, but still manageable. If you get all olive green and blue enemies, you'll probably be done in a few minutes and confused as to why this achievement exists. Hope this helps!

god this achievement hurt my soul. took me 90 minutes to get it since the falling floors arena is so frustrating and you fall into it before the enemy does quite a few times. so glad i'll never have to endure this stupid coliseum ever again.

I think the guide needs to explain where you go to start this achievement. It's not clear where I need to start it or where to go :)
Edit: The coliseum is the boat on the river that you can go to with Majima.
Additionally I would add that it's only worth turning up with an inventory full of Meds as if you fall off (Which I have loads you lose your whole health bar and you'll need to med back up before re-entering the tournament

You have to reach rank B before Endless Rout unlocks. I would recommend the stage where the floors falls apart as you can knock the enemy into the abyss for a quick win. Other than that, there's no trick to unlocking Endless Rout quickly. It takes around 25 tournaments to unlock it. Defeating 30 enemies in Endless Rout is extremely easy and most have a tiny HP bar.

The task itself is not difficult, taking into account the fact that you can buy the necessary arenas for money, and not rely on random. +You can also replenish your health after each five defeated.
But to unlock access to Endless Route you need to reach rank B in the arena, which means replaying regular arenas, some of which are quite challenging even on easy difficulty.

In every second tournament, playing as a kirya you will be able to get a golden pistol. By the way, it’s also possible in Endless Route.

For faster leveling up to rank B, I recommend the last tournament in the second row. We take a knife and at the beginning we dance around the enemy. As soon as the edges begin to open, we push it there. Voila! One round of the tournament in 10-15 seconds. Three rounds - around a minute (with all announcements). They give around 7kk for winning. This is less than in subsequent tournaments, but the time and effort required to obtain this money is much less.

We pass behind Majima. We fight with the enemies in the last arena in the second row, holding a knife in our hands. We kick enemies over the edge of the arena. Endless route - a gun for 99 shots, done easily in one go. Armor - ancient chainmail. Before going to the arena, immediately take a full inventory of healers, because one failure and your HP is at zero.
