Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2 is the sequel to Ready 2 Rumble Boxing.

Round 2 builds on its prequel, and features bizarre additions to its character roster, including basketball player Shaquille O'Neal (most likely due to fellow Midway titles NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC and NBA Hoopz having his endorsement.) and pop sensation Michael Jackson. The game also features "Mr. President" and "First Lady", based on the then president of the United States, Bill Clinton and first lady, Hillary Clinton, respectively.
