PLAION :
5th December 2024. Global boxing superstar and serial entrepreneur Jake ‘El Gallo de Dorado’ Paul has officially joined the roster of the hit boxing video game Undisputed.
In the debut DLC since the game’s full release in October, the high-profile influencer-turned-boxer will be available as a playable character with three in-game outfits, bringing his fight style and personality to the most authentic boxing game from 12 December 2024.
Paul was put through his paces at the Sheffield, UK studio to ensure his in-game character reflected his signature style, combining his real-world fighting skills with his unapologetic, bold persona.
Steel City Interactive conducted a full motion capture of Jake Paul, resulting in a lifelike appearance with precision perfect punches, defence and footwork. His trademark flamboyant attire completes his virtual look.
“I’ve been breaking barriers and making history in real life, so it’s only fitting that I bring the same energy to Undisputed. This isn’t just about being in a video game; it’s about inspiring a new generation of fans to step into the ring – virtually and in real life.
The Steel City team nailed every detail, from my moves to my swag, and I can’t wait for players to test their skills as ‘El Gallo de Dorado.’ Just like in the real ring, I’m here to take over,” said Jake Paul.
“Jake’s influence on modern boxing is undeniable. His meteoric rise has introduced a whole new generation to the sport, especially those who have followed him from a YouTube phenomenon to a legitimate boxing contender,” said Ash Habib, Founder and CEO of Steel City Interactive.
“His inclusion in Undisputed represents our commitment to featuring fighters who bring something new and exciting to the sport, pushing boxing inside and outside the ring.”
Undisputed is known for its authenticity to the world of boxing and detailed recreation of the sport.
In addition to Paul, The Problem Child DLC roster is expanded further to include two specialised packs comprising of six current boxing superstars and legends of yesteryear:
Pack 1 - Mexican Legends
Marco Antonio Barrera
Erik Morales
Juan Manuel Márquez
Pack 2 - Hard-hitting Heavyweights

New outfits
