Knockout Realism

With over 60 different punches, defensive tools, and revolutionary footwork mechanics, Undisputed delivers the most authentic boxing gameplay experience ever seen. Every hard-fought round sharpens your skills, where one well-timed jab, hook, or uppercut can drop your opponent to the canvas. The deep control system ensures a strategic balance between offense and defense, where timing, combinations, and ring movement are critical to victory. Undisputed offers an unrivalled boxing experience that is accessible, intuitive, and most importantly, fun. Hit hard, hit fast, and never back down; going twelve rounds has never felt so rewarding. 

Unrivalled Fighter Roster with Real-life Attributes and Fight Style

Players can choose from over 70 licensed male and female boxers, past and present, covering ten weight divisions. Each fighter is meticulously grounded in realistic stats, traits, and personalized AI to mimic their real-life counterparts. Whether it is a current superstar such as Tyson Fury or Katie Taylor, or legends such as Joe Frazier or Roy Jones Jr., Undisputed brings together the most star-studded, realistic boxing line-up of the year. 

Become the Champion

Starting as an ambitious amateur in a local gym, you will build your profile through graft and KOs, patiently mastering skills and paving the way to become an elite fighter. Negotiate contracts, choose your coaches and cutmen, and develop skills through training and sparring. Remember, champions aren’t born; they’re made with blood, sweat and grit. Get those gloves on.
