Choose from over 500 current boxers, as of 1979 and up to 1990, along with all-time greats from each weight division. Dream matchups are possible, allowing contests such as Ali versus Marciano to take place at the table.

Each bout can be simulated over 10, 12, or 15 rounds. As the fight unfolds, the outcome may include TKOs, injuries, and KOs. Different card strategies can also be employed to influence the action and shape the course of each contest.

Fighter cards provide more than a name and matchup opportunity: the back of each card includes a brief history explaining why that boxer is notable in professional boxing. This adds context as you build contests and explore the available fighters.

Whether you are recreating historic possibilities, organizing a tournament, or testing a single matchup, Title Bout focuses on the drama and changing fortunes of professional boxing through a card-driven system.
