It is a follow-up to Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing, and is virtually identical in many ways, apart from a number of significant improvements.

The game uses an identical 'attributes' system for each boxer to Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing, apart from one change: the attribute "defense" is no longer present.

As with Evander Holyfield in the previously mentioned game, the eight real-life fighters have maximum values on all of the attributes featured.

An improvement over Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing is that the player now has many more colors to choose from when determining skin and hair colour for their fighter.

In this mode, a player takes control of one of the eight real-life boxers in the game, and competes against the other seven in an eight-man tournament.

The real-life boxers featured in the game reflect the fighters they are based upon in the way the console controls them.

The top-down map featured in the first game has been replaced by a small 2.5D view of the ring that works in similar way but is easier to understand.
