Cannot equip training sword

[Anthony Bourdain]

FIXED: Restarted game and did everything again. This time fully equipped the sword before talking to hans and then after I could equip it for the fight itself

Yes it is in my first weapon slot and bound to "1".

I am in the ring after talking to hans to start playfighting after which henry got into the fighting stance with his fists. Every subsequent tap to equip the sword does nothing.

Worth mentioning that I had my dualsense connected by cable before I started the fight and disconnected while doing so...
