Universal Boxing Manager

Universal Boxing Manager is a boxing manager simulation. Manage up to six different boxers, each one with different stats and skills, in 17 weight categories. Selectively train your boxer’s stats and then take them to the ring to watch each stunning blow, coaching your boxer between rounds on how to change his tactics and send your opponent to the canvas. Search and hire new talents from a huge database of over 1000 unique boxers. Arrange fights, buy new training tools, hire better medical staff, and watch the boxers fighting for real in a top view of the ring! You can customize completely your manager by age, nationality and various skills like training, negotiation, scouting, and more, that really make the game different each time you play it.
