eSports Boxing Club release date and licensed fighters including Tyson Fury and Amir Khan

Boxing fans are set for a huge year in 2022 with a wealth of top-class bouts to watch, including the likes of Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk.

The heavyweight trio are set to return to the ring in the coming months, with Fury facing Dillian Whyte while Joshua and Usyk face-off on a rematch.

So far this year, fans have already been treated to Chris Eubank Jr's victory over Liam Williams and Kell Brook's triumph over Amir Khan in their fierce grudge match - a bout that fans had to wait over a decade for.

Fortunately, those top-class fights can now take place imminently with top bouts including Fury vs Canelo Alvarez - but there is a catch.

Rather than facing off in the ring properly, the pair could face-off under your control with the release of upcoming boxing game eSports Boxing Club (ESBC).

Fury and Canelo are among a host of licensed fighters set to star, with the roster also set to include Deontay Wilder, Usyk, Khan, Brook, Terence Crawford, Vasyl Lomachenko and Connor Benn.

Legends from yesterday are also set to be included, with Muhammed Ali, Joe Frazier, Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko, Roy Jones Jr, Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard.

New development footage shared by the creators featured Fury vs Wilder, Carl Froch vs Caleb Plant, Brook vs Benn and Brook vs Arturo Gatti.

Camera angles and the variety of punches that can be utilised was also shown off, whetting the appetite ahead of the game's release.

It is planned to be launched across XBOX One, XBOX One Series S/X, PS4 and PS5, and PC

However, fans will have to be patient as while a release date has been slated for later in 2022, developers Steel City Interactive are yet to announce a confirmed date.
