A deep control system ensures strategic balance between offense and defence, where timing, combinations and ring movement are critical to victory. 

Undisputed features over 70 real-life men and women boxers, legends and present-day icons, covering multiple weight divisions. Each licensed fighter is meticulously grounded in realistic stats and traits 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.   

The game incorporates real-world boxing organizations like the WBC, WBO, and IBF, iconic venues and gyms such as Coldwell’s Gym and the Kingdom Arena, as well as boxing equipment and apparel from brands such as Empire, Everlast, and Rival. 

The game launches with multiple modes, including single player, local and online multiplayer, as well as a comprehensive Career Mode where players can create their own fighters to become the Undisputed champion of the world. 

Undisputed features a powerful licensed soundtrack that sets the tone for the action, blending the best of US hip hop and UK rap.  

Lupe Fiasco, the Grammy award-winning American rapper and record producer, created the track P4P specifically for Undisputed. P4P features in the launch trailer  

The launch trailer, narrated by boxing analyst Akin ‘AK’ Reyes, shows how Undisputed is developed with care and passion by dedicated fight fans, in close collaboration with the world of boxing to deliver unprecedented control, depth and authenticity.
