Our take on Backyard Boxing
Players may hit a wall when continuing an old save created before version 1.2.0: the reported bug can block entry to the second round. The game’s schedule also requires choices among training, fighting, hustling, and resting rather than uninterrupted bouts.
What is Backyard Boxing?
Backyard Boxing follows an underdog fighter climbing an illegal urban boxing league.
Players fight opponents, gain fans, unlock cities, and improve fighter attributes through training. The schedule system divides time between fighting, training, hustling, and resting. Street activities include drug dealing, borrowing from loan sharks, blackjack, spin wheels, scratch tickets, and random events. Victories and defeats remain part of the fighter’s record, while online leaderboards rank players by fan totals. The game also includes fighter upgrades, city progression, and opponents with different fighting styles. An earlier save may prevent access to the second round after the 1. 2. 0 update; the vendor advises retiring that save and starting again.
