If you're into sports and gaming, you're pretty much covered - unless you're a boxing fan.

Since EA discontinued Fight Night in 2011, boxing fans have had little to satisfy their appetite in the virtual world, but a game studio from Sheffield hopes to change that.

Undisputed's developers have told BBC Newsbeat why they felt it was time for boxing to make a return to the video game ring.

    People need to support this game no matter what, even if it’s not so great. They now have a game to build on. You’ve gotta remember EA had Fight Night for years and years so it’s easy to tweak things here and there.. Steel City have created this game from scratch, this is their first attempt at a boxing game. Support the game, give it constructive criticism and over time we will get an incredible boxing game again.

    I'm a little surprised to see this on the BBC but am all here for it! Lol
  • @anasshahid224
    It’s been over a decade since we last got a boxing game for consoles, so excited to play the Undisputed boxing game on PS5 this October, it looks incredible!
  • @stz_1337
    Amazing how much they put into it and they are not even EA/2K.
  • I'm a huge boxing fan, and I can't wait to play this on console in October. I think it's going to be a great game that I will be putting a lot of hours into. Let's all support Steel City Interactive and buy this game.

    Doing the Lords work!!! Thank you so much. I can finally pit down Fight Night lol
  • @default6734
    They still have to get Terrence Crawfords movements mo capped
  • @R1CLUTCHUP
    Been playing on the PC since release. It will be interesting if it's actually fixed by then.
  • @monte66100
    Get the makers of FIGHT NIGHT CHAMPION TO COLLAB WITH YALL

    I've been following this games steps for what feels like years, they've never got to grips with distance management and the hip movement makes up so much of a fighters movement, damn shame really, but it's not good, and now they've taken clinching out it's a poor effort after so long, looks nice though
  • It's so good to see a group of dedicated & passionate people who are all focused on making this one game. We used to see this sorta thing in the early 2000's. I'm so happy to see new combat sports games coming out. I could play these types of games and extreme games all the time and it's been so long since we've gotten anything new. I really hope this teams future flourishes and we get to see a bunch of future surprises from them. It's such a shame what Xbox & other mega companies have done to really impact the gaming industry & in a pretty negative way. Which makes me even more happy to see a company such as this full of passion and focus. In my opinion it's dev teams like this that is what makes the best games. I wish you all the best 🥊🥋🥊

    Still no mention of dedicated servers, desync issues, anti cheat and cross play.
  • @maffer3164
    Can't wait to play this game... It's been a long time coming... Not had a box game on play station for such a long time
  • @SuperJcoleFan
    Undisputed has loads of issues. Body shots unblockables, desync online, you can't even pivot when using head movement which invites spam too
  • I can't wait to finally play the proper version. The flow of punches and their animations look much better now.
  • @Mintcar923
    Those boxing games on ps2 & ps3 def hold up but feels like something has been missing being it’s been a good while since a good release.. I’d love to see another Punch Out & Victorious Boxers.. I’ll probably pick this one up too
