Riddick Bowe Boxing is a 1993 boxing game developed by Malibu Interactive and published by Extreme Entertainment Group for SNES, Game Boy, and Game Gear. Starring then-heavyweight champ Riddick Bowe, it delivers realistic boxing matches with single-player (quick fight/career mode starting at rank 25 to challenge Bowe) and two-player modes. Players customize their boxer’s look and train to boost strength, speed, and stamina.
It features 2D side-view pixel graphics, with stamina and damage meters plus a radar for tactical play. Boxers get knocked out when stamina hits zero after hits; three knockdowns per round end in a TKO. Career mode simulates skill decline and eventual retirement.
In Mexico and the U.S. Southwest, it was released as *Chavez* with Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez and Spanish text, with nearly identical content.
Overall, Riddick Bowe Boxing stands out as a top boxing game of its era, perfect for boxing and sports game fans.
