2K Sports Challenges Fight Night with Don King Prizefighter

2K Sports announced today that the highly anticipated title, Don King Presents: Prizefighter, is now available on North American retail store shelves for Xbox 360. Developed by 2K’s Venom Games studio, Don King Presents: Prizefighter is the first and only current generation title to combine all the action of professional boxing with compelling live-action cut scenes featuring legendary fighters.

“I am thrilled to be an integral part of this monumental entertainment experience,” said legendary boxing promoter Don King. “I have applied all my decades of boxing insight to inspire and elevate Don King Presents: Prizefighter beyond anything fans of the sport have ever experienced before.”

Don King Presents: Prizefighter casts players in the role of a talented, unknown boxer fighting his way out of obscurity and into the international spotlight while attempting to claim the world championship. The immersive storyline challenges players to balance their rigorous training regimen with the temptations of wealth and stardom, and unfolds in a unique, live-action sports documentary-style that features real-life legends and current stars from the world of boxing including Samuel Peter, Joe Calzaghe, Kelly Pavlik, Ricardo Mayorga, Nate Campbell, Juan Diaz, Ken Norton, Larry Holmes, Andrew Golota, Don King and many others. Heather Vandeven, the reigning 2007 Penthouse Pet of the Year, and popular video vixen Bria Myles also star in the documentary and act as temptations for boxers throughout their careers.
