Toughman Contest is a Sega Mega Drive boxing game developed by High Score Productions and published by Electronic Arts. Released in Europe in March 1995, it was later released in the United States that July. Based on the titular amateur boxing competition, the game was ported to the Sega 32X by developer Visual Concepts and published worldwide in June 1995.

Gameplay

Toughman Contest is an over-the-shoulder boxing game, featuring a player character represented by a green wireframe, and dodge-punch gameplay directly based on Nintendo's 1984 arcade game Punch-Out!!.
