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.

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.
