After more than a year of early access, Undisputed is coming out of sparring and into the proverbial fight. On Thursday, May 16, the game's official social media accounts announced the release date, platforms, cover athletes, and pre-order info via trailer.
Undisputed will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on October 11. Canelo Alvarez will be the Standard Edition cover athlete, while Tyson Fury will be the Deluxe (WBC Edition) cover athlete.
Visually, the fighter renders look stellar, and if the official console release brings over the roster of more than 70 licensed boxers and the most recent gameplay improvements, we could have a sneaky hit on our hands.
Fury and Usyk will fight on Saturday in Saudi Arabia for the undisputed heavyweight championship, so their placement and the release of the trailer/info make sense. Also, the game's release could fall in the same timeframe as the contracted Fury-Usyk rematch.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the trailer includes some not-so-subtle brand placements for Riyadh Season, which likely confirms the group's financial support for the game's development. This group has supplied a jolt of energy to boxing over the past year.
Crawford is already set to fight on the first American card backed by Alalshikh on August 3. If that impressive card is a pre-cursor to a deal with Canelo, the game's trailer will have proven to be a seed toward arguably the biggest pure boxing match since Floyd Mayweather faced Manny Pacquiao in May 2015.
Expect EA and others to closely monitor the success and hype around Undisputed as the official release date approaches. If the release trends toward success, the other publishers and developers will look to get a piece of the invigorated appetite for video game boxing, one way or another.
The last heavyweight to hold all four major belts was Lewis, who beat Evander Holyfield in 1999 by unanimous decision in Las Vegas. His undisputed reign only lasted about six months, thanks to one of the infinite turf disputes seemingly created whenever sanctioning bodies are involved.
This fight was delayed twice after Fury said he needed more time following his embarrassing performance against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. Fury barely got a split decision to beat a mixed martial artist competing in his first professional boxing match, and the effort stoked speculation as to whether Fury is finally headed downhill.
Both fighters have knockout power, yet both are obviously durable. Fury is motivated to atone for his last performance, while Usyk has a chance to complete his stunning rise from cruiserweight stardom to heavyweight supremacy.

Of the truly abundant polysaccharides in Nature, only chitin has yet to find utilization in large quantity. Chitin is the second most abundant natural biopolymer derived from exoskeletons of crustaceans and also from cell walls of fungi and insects. Chitin is a linear beta 1,4-linked polymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), whereas chitosan, a copolymer of GlcNAc (approximately 20%) and glucosamine (GlcN, 80%) residues, is a product derived from de-N-acetylation of chitin in the presence of hot alkali. Chitosan is, in fact, a collective name representing a family of de-N-acetylated chitins deacetylated to different degrees. Both chitin/chitosan and their modified derivatives find extensive applications in medicine, agriculture, food, and non-food industries as well. They have emerged as a new class of physiological materials of highly sophisticated functions. Their application versatility is a great challenge to the scientific community and to industry. All these are the result of their versatile biological activity, excellent biocompatibility, and complete biodegradability in combination with low toxicity. Commercial availability of high-purity forms of chitin/chitosan and the continuous appearance of new types of chitin/chitosan derivatives with more and more useful and specific properties have led to an unlimited R&D efforts on this most versatile amino polysaccharide, chitin to find new applications, which are necessary to realize its full potential. Incidentally, this too has become an environmental priority. No doubt, chitin is surely an undisputed biomolecule of great potential.
We've been following the progress of Undisputed for years here at Pure Xbox, and we're delighted to share that the game finally has a release date for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S - it's launching on October 11th, 2024.
Undisputed first arrived in early access on PC last year, and it currently has a "Mostly Positive" rating on the Steam platform. The Xbox release coincides with the 1.0 launch of the game, which means it'll be coming out of early access.
In Undisputed, you'll be able to create your own boxer and embark on an "in-depth" career mode while fighting across 14 different atmospheric venues, and of course, you can take the fight online as well. A roster of over 70 licensed boxers includes the likes of Muhammad Ali, Tyson Fury and Katie Taylor, the broadcast-style presentation includes commentary from Todd Grisham and Johnny Nelson (with fighter introductions from Jimmy Lennon Jr.), and there are licenses for various boxing organisations and equipment brands sprinkled into the mix.
"Boxing fans will soon be able to experience be the most authentic boxing game to in over a decade. Take over the ring with an unprecedented roster of over 70 licensed boxers including Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Canelo Alvarez, Katie Taylor and Roy Jones Jr."
I hope this is good I'd love a good boxing game there were loads out years ago don't understand why 2k or ea don't have games out it's not like the sport isn't popular much more enjoyable for me over mma
Your Deluxe WBC Edition of Undisputed includes:
Officially Licensed WBC Patch
The Fighter Pack: Jaime Munguia, Regis Prograis, Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez, Dmitry Bivol, Caleb Plant and Julio Cesar Chavez, along with alternate ring attire for each
The Apparel Pack: Alternate ring attire for Claressa Shields, Canelo Alvarez, Oleksandr Usyk, Katie Taylor, Tyson Fury and Amir Khan
The Era Pack: Three young fighter versions - Tyson Fury '09, Canelo Alvarez '11 and Muhammad Ali '64
No Inoue at launch though is a shocker. If you've got Shields and Crawford who are the only other 2 fighters in history to go undisputed in 2 different weight categories, Inoue has to be there too. But hopefully like you say we'll get more DLC additions as time goes by.
The devs know what they are doing with that trailer, showing both Tyson and Usyk knocking each other down, getting the boxing fans hyped up and hoping they pre-order. The timing is just very convenient ?
Ever since he first arrived upon the scene of his third division in 2018, Vasiliy Lomachenko has made it his mission to pursue one dream (and one dream only) to put a capstone on his unique and historic career: an undisputed championship.
Already considered among the greatest amateur boxers in history after winning a pair of Olympic gold medals for his native Ukraine, Lomachenko (17-3, 11 KOs) only continued his pursuit of greatness upon turning pro. He won a world title in just his third pro fight, added a second division title by his seventh fight and then authored an incredible four-fight stretch (ending in 2017) where his opponents all quit on their stool (briefly labeling him as "No-mas-chenko" by adoring fans and media).
The only problem for Lomachenko was that he became so dominant at 126 and 130 pounds that the other champions refused to fight him, which derailed his dream of becoming a four-belt, undisputed champion. That's the reason why Lomachenko moved up so quickly to lightweight in just his 12th fight, in a weight class admittedly over his head in terms of size and effectiveness of his power.
Lomachenko is so great, however, that it barely seemed to matter. He secured almost unanimous approval as pound-for-pound king yet went on to see his dream of collecting all four titles come up short twice -- both times in disputed decisions against unbeaten champions (Teofimo Lopez Jr., Devin Haney) who looked poised to use the breakthrough victory to become household names.
The biggest difference between then and now is that the two men who barely defeated Lomachenko at lightweight have now come and gone after physically outgrowing the division. But the diminutive Lomachenko is still here and his desire at age 36 to achieve his dream, just as his window of opportunity appears to slowly be closing, couldn't be stronger.
Lomachenko returns on Saturday, in Perth, Australia, when he challenges native hero George Kambosos Jr. (21-2, 10 KOs) for the IBF title that was vacated when Haney moved up to 140 pounds last fall. The fight has been titled "Road to Redemption," which is not only aimed at Lomachenko but the fact that Kambosos, the division's former unified king following his 2021 upset of Lopez, dropped a pair of title losses to Haney the following year.
"I was a man who wanted to take the world," Lomacheko said during Top Rank's pre-fight documentary series. "I was very close with undisputed but I can't because I lose in the lightweight and [the loss] took my dream, took my goal. I wouldn't like to finish on that note."
Lomachenko's 2020 loss to Lopez was much closer than the scorecards intimated, as the shifty southpaw furiously rallied over the second half but came up short (and, admittedly, started too late). But it was the fight last May for Haney's undisputed title that saw the majority of observers believe Lomachenko had done enough and that age had yet to rob him of his superiority.
"I had a chance [against Haney], I lose this chance," Lomachenko said. "On the paper, I am not an undisputed world champion but, inside, if we talk with Teofimo, it was close. But if we are talking with Haney, it was not a close fight. I understand that I won this fight. People know and understand about this robbery."
