Champion Boxing (チャンピオンボクシング) is a simplistic boxing game built for the SG-1000. It was later re-released in arcades for SG-1000-based arcade hardware. An MSX version was released in 1985, published by Pony Canyon.

Champion Boxing is also noteworthy for being the first game coded by Yu Suzuki in his first year at Sega.

Synopsis

“

Excitement gradually builds up as you fight in each of the 90 second rounds in this 8 round bout. Your opponent is a tough young blonde fighter. Throw STRAIGHT, JAB, and UPPERcut punches directly to the opponent's face or his body. Keep up the flurry of fast and furious blows by taking advantage of your superior footwork!! Warm up in LEVEL 1 and then upgrade your skills by consecutively clearing the higher LEVELS. If in LEVEL 5 you win by a 10 count KO you'll become the world champion.
