The game was reviewed to positive reviews except for the US GameSpot for the PlayStation 2. That review was critical.

John Gaudiosi of Next Generation said that while the PlayStation version was "a good boxing game, it's still not as good as it could be. Also, if you played KK2000, you won't find much of a difference."[7] Rob Smolka of the same magazine later said of the PS2 version, "Honoring the strategy of boxing as much as the ferocity, this should enthrall fans of the sport."[8]

gollark: Philosophers are obsolete, as we can just procedurally generate philosophy on-demand.
gollark: That is *so* many monoids.
gollark: Idea: replace philosophers with GPT-3.
gollark: Oh yes, at least 3 maths.
