The game features a HUD that displays damage and energy meters, along with a miniature ring at the top of the screen. This helps players keep track of their position in the ring and avoid getting backed into a corner easily. Players can compete in various modes, including 1-Player vs CPU, 1-Player vs 2-Player, and a career mode where they can choose from four preset fighters or create their own custom boxers.
The career mode starts with players ranked at position #25 and slowly works their way up the rankings by competing in bouts and going to the gym to build up stats. The ultimate goal is to face off against Riddick Bowe, also known as "Big Daddy", in a bid for championship glory.
