About Sim: Heavyweight Boxing Champion
Choose Your Era — 1880 to 2026+
Start your career in any year from the bare-knuckle age of the 1880s to the modern mega-fight era and beyond. The game world evolves authentically with the times — title fight rounds change from 25 to 20 to 15 to 12 as the sport modernises, sanctioning bodies appear in their real years (one world title until 1963, then WBC, IBF in 1983, and WBO in 1988), venues shift from Yankee Stadium and the Polo Grounds to Caesars Palace and Riyadh's Kingdom Arena, fighter nationalities reflect each era's talent pools, and purse money grows from thousands to tens of millions. Boxing news announces every historic rule change as it happens.Play As A Legend
Don't just fight alongside the greats — become one. Choose from the 300 greatest heavyweights of all time and relive their careers from the beginning. Each legend starts with their authentic overall rating, real fighting style, true hometown, and the exact age they turned professional. Take Iron Mike Tyson from his 1984 debut as a wrecking machine, or step in as Muhammad Ali — turning pro at 18 in 1960 as the reigning Olympic gold medallist. Then rewrite history: drop any legend into a different era and see how they'd fare against the champions of another age. Start fresh at 0-0 and build their legacy your way.2,500+ Real Heavyweight Fighters
Ali, Tyson, Foreman, Frazier, Louis, Dempsey, Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Holmes, Marciano, Klitschko, Fury, Usyk, Joshua, Wilder, Jack Johnson, Jim Jeffries, Bob Fitzsimmons, and over two thousand more. Every significant heavyweight from 1880 to 2026 and beyond (upcoming top-rated amateurs) is in the game with authentic ratings, fighting styles, stances, and nicknames. Start in their era and share the ring with the greats — or begin in a different decade and watch them emerge as young prospects turning professional.Your Journey to the Top Starts Here
Start as an unknown amateur and fight your way through a living, breathing heavyweight division of 500 unique boxers at any one time. Every fighter has their own record, style, strengths, weaknesses, and personality. Choose your fighting style, pick your stance, and begin the long climb from unranked nobody to undisputed world champion.Live Round-by-Round Fight Commentary
Every fight unfolds in real time with rich, detailed commentary that makes you feel ringside. Choose your strategy before each round — box from range, apply pressure, fight on the inside, or go for the knockout. Watch stamina drain, cuts open, swelling develop, and momentum swing round by round. Legendary fighters even bring their signature moves to the ring — see the Ali Shuffle and the Dempsey Roll light up the commentary. Judges score independently with realistic split decisions, majority decisions, and controversial verdicts. No two fights ever play out the same way.A Title for Every Era
In the early eras, there's one heavyweight champion of the world — winning that single belt makes you the champion, undisputed by definition. From 1963 onwards, sanctioning bodies fragment the picture: the WBC arrives, then the IBF in 1983, then the WBO in 1988. By the modern era, four world titles sit at the top of the mountain.Regional titles emerge in their own historical order as stepping stones for rising contenders. The British title (1891) is the oldest, followed by the European (1946), Oriental and Pacific (1952), Commonwealth (1954), North American (1969), African (1973), and Pan Asian (1995). Hold all four world belts simultaneously and become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.A Living, Breathing Division
This is not a static roster. The heavyweight division evolves every month. Fighters age, decline, and retire. New prospects turn professional from the amateur ranks. Champions rise and fall. Mandatory challengers are ordered. Title fights are scheduled, cancelled, and rescheduled. Sons of legendary fighters emerge carrying their father's surname and a genetic edge. The division has a life of its own — and you are part of it.Authentic Fighters, Authentic Identities
The legends fight like themselves. The biggest punchers in history carry power and killer-instinct ratings true to their real careers, so the sluggers hit like sluggers and the slick boxers box. Authentic nicknames appear throughout the game — across rankings, fight cards, results, news, and profiles. Square off against "Iron" Mike Tyson, Tyson "The Gypsy King" Fury, "The Brockton Blockbuster" Rocky Marciano, and hundreds more. Fighters carry their real hometowns, and amateur honours like Olympic gold medals are recorded in their biographies.Rivalries That Write Themselves
Rivalries form naturally through close fights, controversial decisions, callouts, and press conference confrontations. Your rivals will call you out in the media, demand rematches, and fuel grudge matches that the whole division watches. Some rivalries last an entire career.Deep Career Management
Every decision matters. Choose your opponents carefully — fight too far above your level and you risk a devastating loss; stay too safe and you will never climb the rankings. Before every fight, select a training camp — Power, Speed, Defence, Cardio, Technical, or Brawler — each with genuine tradeoffs that shape how your fighter performs on the night. Manage your fighter's age, energy, and physical condition across a career that can span over a decade. Purses grow from thousands to millions as your reputation builds. Watch your social media following explode as you become a household name — or build your fanbase the old-fashioned way in the pre-internet eras.Annual Awards and Recognition
At the end of every year, the boxing world hands out its awards. Fighter of the Year, Young Fighter of the Year, Fight of the Year, Knockout of the Year, Upset of the Year, and Comeback Fighter of the Year — each with a detailed writeup that captures the story of the season. Win them and cement your legacy. Watch them go to your rivals and fuel your motivation.Complete Fight Records and Statistics
Every fighter in the division has a full BoxRec-style record with detailed fight history, opponent records, methods of victory, venues, and purses. Active fighters retain their full pro fight history with no cap, so every bout is documented. Your own career page tracks everything from knockouts and win streaks to earnings and title defences. The all-time records page celebrates legends past and present — most career wins, longest title reign, oldest first-time champion, retired with fewest defeats, and many more.Watch the Division Unfold
You are not the only story. Watch title fights play out with full commentary. Follow the rise of young contenders. Track who holds each belt. Read the boxing news that covers every major result, upset, and title change in the division. The heavyweight landscape is always shifting.Olympic and World Amateur Championships
The amateur scene runs in parallel with the professional division. Olympic Games every four years and World Amateur Championships every two years produce medal winners who turn professional and enter the rankings. Olympic gold medalists arrive as elite-tier prospects, with appropriate floors for silver and bronze — and their medal honours follow them into their professional biographies. Some of them may become your greatest rivals.Hall of Fame and Legacy
When the time comes to hang up the gloves, retire and see how your career measures up. Your record, titles won, title defences, earnings, and achievements are preserved in the Hall of Fame. Then start again — create a new fighter in the same universe and enter an evolved division where the legends you fought alongside are now retired icons.Built for Replayability
No two careers play out the same way. Eight fighting styles, multiple stances, adjustable difficulty, 300 playable legends, and a division that generates its own drama ensure that every playthrough tells a different story. Generate up to 1,000+ years of heavyweight history and watch dynasties rise and fall.Features at a Glance

What Steam players say

I really enjoy this game. It's simple without all of the extra game options like sponsorships, TV deals, contracts, and so forth. I have been waiting for so long for a boxing manager game that is engaging but without the mess. This does that. I know the dev is improving the game frequently and is listening to suggestions and implementing them. I just hope he will not get away from the simplicity this game provides. +Simple to play and get into +Different eras to start at with boxers from those eras +Quick navigation through the menus +Quick simulation engine which makes getting through careers pretty quick -Money means nothing. I don't know how something can be implemented to change this without messing with the simplicity of the game. -Only Heavyweight division. The dev has talked about adding more divisions and fighters and has to figure out a way to do this without compromising speed of play. Suggestions: Implement fighters offering you fights as well as the current way of you offering up fights; more stats (yearly ko's, knockdowns, punches thrown, landed, and percentage leaders) Thank you dev for putting in the time to make this game great.3 found this helpful
The game has depth in terms of universe like rankings and belts as well as historical fighters. But it lacks a bit in terms of what you can do. For example, I started as a 20 year old in 1935 (when Joe Louis was starting as a 21 yrs old), and by the time I was 30, we were the top two fighters in the world. We had a series of fights, I broke some records (including one held by Gene Tunney) and Joe Louis broke some records (of course), it was an epic era. When you retire your fighter, you can create a new one and the timeline continues. My next two fighters weren't as great but my fourth one had a similar trilogy with Larry Holmes. Except this time I kept refusing to do a unification fight until we were both older (a la Manny/Mayweather). I was trying to earn as much money as I could and rationalized that I could make more as a WBO/IBF champion fighting lesser guys than risking losing a unification fight with Larry for the WBA/WBC belts. But eventually we both kept winning/defending our belts so the fight had to happen. Fun storylines like that come out of this game. But in between fights, you don't really do anything, you select a fight, click next month, select your sty…3 found this helpful
A really nice simulation similar in some ways to the old "title Bout" but much improved over that series. The text descriptions are well formatted and color coded so that it is easy to follow the fights. The boxing universe evolves each month without a lot of fuss. You can watch the fights you want, and then if you want read descriptions of the remaining fights which will happen on their own. You have your fighter and you pick the fights and set some simple strategies round by round. You watch the fights, your fighter develops and then ages until you decide to retire him. All the other fighters in the universe do the same. Then you generate a new fighter within that same universe and just keep going. Its more of a simulation than it is a game. I personally set the game to all random fighters but all the historical heavyweights (2500 or so) are there if you want them and they appear in the years they fought in historically. So you can fight your fighters and as time goes by also stay up on what's happening with other historical figures in the game. You can also choose many of the historical fighters as your own. The game runs smooth and I haven't encountered mu…2 found this helpful
This is one of the better boxing sims available. The text-based fights can be sped up or slowed down at will, depending on how involved you want to be in each moment. There's a full simulation going on in the background that your boxer navigates during his climb to the top. The dev is very responsive and helpful. This is the first game to remind me of how fun Title Bout could be, but all the number crunching and non-player matches happen around you so that you can just look at detailed results only if you want, spending your time managing your own fighter. No tedious, complex training montages here. You make matches, you fight, your stats slowly rise with experience, and the living world happens around you. Comes with tons of real historical boxers to play against, or random ones if you prefer, and you can start in the 1800s if you want, or any time period after that. Very fun!1 found this helpful
Not a big fan of text based games. But I love boxing. I didnt expect much going into this game. That was a mistake on my part. I've had alot of fun with this game so far. The developer has been quick with responses with the community. Would I recommend this to a sports fan? Yes I would. I definitely recommend it if you like the sport of boxing.1 found this helpful
Very nice boxing simulator. You don't get to control much, but it is a blast watching the world play out. Fun game to get into quick and have a chill time watching legends develop in an alternate world. Also great to have going while watching a show or doing something else.
