Undisputed, formerly known as eSports Boxing Club, is finally making its way to the ring and we’ve got the early tale of the tape. From a look at the roster of playable fighters to a breakdown of core gameplay systems, here’s all there is to know.
Throughout the early 2000s, EA kept boxing fans happy with a flurry of authentic boxing games under the ‘Fight Night’ banner. These titles were regarded as some of the best in the combat sports realm before they ultimately vanished.
Boxing has largely missed the last few hardware generations while the likes of WWE and UFC games have taken over instead. Fortunately for those eager to step back in the ring and compete in the ‘gentleman’s sport’ once again, a new contender is finally emerging.
Undisputed, an upcoming release from a new team at Steel City Interactive promises to bring a “world-leading” boxing simulation to various platforms in the near future. From when you can play it to a look at the boxers on the roster, here’s everything you need to know.
Undisputed boxing game: Release date
Undisputed is set to release in full on October 11, 2024.
This follows an early access release that first kicked off on January 31, 2023. Players have already been able to go hands-on, and by the time the final build hits store shelves, it will have been 21 months in total between early access and the full launch.
Undisputed boxing game platforms
While Undisputed first arrived on PC in early access, the full game is launching on PS5 and Xbox Series X | S as well. There are no plans for a release across previous-gen hardware.
This means new-gen console players will be able to get in on the fun, but it’s currently unclear if crossplay will be supported across all versions of the game.

Undisputed boxing: Gameplay details
Striving to be the “most authentic boxing game to date,” Undisputed puts the biggest emphasis on raw gameplay mechanics and polished visuals. On the former, devs have implemented unique movement systems, dozens of punching types, and countless animations to ensure every fighter feels different. All of these aspects have been gradually tweaked over time with player feedback in mind, to ensure the most polished experience at launch.
In moment-to-moment fighting, players will notice a unique physics system that allows punches to “go around or even through the guard” depending on a range of variables in the heat of combat.
There are multiple venues to compete out of, multiple weight classes, and a women’s division too, plus real-world referees to add that extra layer of authenticity.
On top of that, the game features a well-rounded lineup of many of the sport’s most influential figures today, which you can find below in the full roster.
