2K Sports has just sent me new screenshots and a video for their upcoming Don King Presents: Prizefighter. Anyone who knows me knows that I love boxing games, owning and playing a wide range of classic and modern titles, with my most recent favorite being the seminal Fight Night Round 3 for the Xbox 360. While it looks like EA is going to go for a more arcade-style boxing game on their next go-round, eschewing the "Fight Night" branding, their arch enemy in sports videogames, 2K Sports, looks as though they wish to claim the realistic action boxing game title with "Prizefighter".

Corporate challenges aside, boxing has classically been one of the toughest sports to properly capture, so the 2K Sports team will have their work cut out for them on a first effort. Nevertheless, I'm in their corner--at least at this conceptual stage. Video trailer and photos:
