We have been delaying this for a while, but Ajit and Vihaan have already solved it. So there is no point of keeping it a secret :)
Note that this may be a general case for Foxes: 296, 297, and 298. It is also related to Fox 301.

Fox 297 - Solutions
by Giannno:

by Bleaug:
Polar Fox adds:
By definition OB=x+1 => OBH is an isosceles triangle (1).
Also known that, m(BHO)=90 degrees (2).
Also known that, m(BHO)=90 degrees (2).
Nope, aint gonna happen.
i.e. (1) and (2) can't happen at the same time.

Let's mess around little bit more with this:

Fox 296 - Solutions
Among similar ones, Bleaug finds a contradiction for Fox 296:
Take an arbitrary AOC triangle such that OC=3OA. Build B as intersection of triangle's circumscribed circle and AOC internal bisector. B is such that ABC is isoceles, i.e. AB=BC. Symmetry in OABI implies AB=BI, hence IBC is isoceles. Orthogonal projection of B on OC coincides with H such that IH= HC=OA. OHB is rectangle, therefore
OB^2 = (2OA)^2 + BH^2 => OB > 2OA iff angle(AOC) > 0.
Strictly speaking, if angle(AOC)=0 there is a solution if we admit that a straight line is a circle with center at infinity (e.g. in projective plane).

And Giannno solves too:

So the claim may very well be wrong.
If you believe so, you may try to find a counter-example.
