    Boxing Legends of The Ring, known in Mexico as Chavez II, is a boxing game for the Sega Mega Drive developed by Sculptured Software. Sponsored in its United States release by sports magazine The Ring and in its Mexican release by professional boxer Julio César Chávez, it was first published in the United States by Electro Brain in October 1993,[1] and was brought to Mexico by American Softworks one year later.[2]

    History

    In Mexico, the game was re-branded and sponsored by Julio César Chávez, creating Chavez II (the original Chavez having received similar treatment on the Super Nintendo, formerly being known as Riddick Bowe Boxing). Chavez II is thought to have been the only Mexican-exclusive game released for any Sega console in the entirety of Sega's home console endeavours - it is largely the same game as Boxing Legends of The Ring, though omits some sound effects and has been translated into Spanish.
