A Champion’s Voice for a Realistic Boxing Video Game

Dear Champ,

I hope this letter finds you in great health and high spirits. First and foremost, I want to give you your flowers and acknowledge everything you've done for the sport of boxing—both inside and outside the ring. Your energy, work ethic, and love for the sport are undeniable, and as a dedicated fan of boxing, I truly respect you.

I have been a gamer for four decades and have also had the honor of competing as a decorated amateur boxer. My passion for boxing extends beyond just watching or competing; I am deeply invested in seeing the sport represented properly in the gaming world. A truly realistic and authentic boxing video game has been missing for far too long.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to help EA Sports indirectly with a few Fight Night games and was also involved with an indie company attempting to develop a boxing game. However, I left that project because my vision for a truly realistic boxing simulation did not align with theirs. I firmly believe that boxing deserves a game that represents the sweet science in all its depth—its strategy, styles, and unique intricacies—rather than being watered down for mass appeal.

The reason I’m reaching out to you, Champ, is because you have the platform, credibility, and respect in the boxing world to be a powerful advocate for the game that so many of us want. You understand the sport on a level that few do, and your voice carries weight. We need someone who can be a bridge between the gaming industry and the boxing community—someone who can ensure that the sport is done justice in digital form.

Unfortunately, there are certain individuals who would rather see voices like mine silenced because I challenge the status quo and push for authenticity over compromise. But I refuse to let that stop me. Boxing deserves a game that does it justice, and I truly believe that with the right backing, we can make that happen.

I appreciate your time in reading this, and I hope we can connect further. Whether through a conversation, collaboration, or simply having a boxing advocate like yourself amplifying this vision, your support would mean everything to the fans who have been waiting far too long for the game our sport deserves.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Respectfully,
Poe
