Don King is Making a Boxing Game

Don King, the iconic haired, boxing promoter that brought to you such fighters like Mike Tyson, is going to lend his name to EA Sports for, you guessed it, a boxing game! The games titled "Don King Presents: Prizefighter" and you should see it on the store shelves in Spring '08. Details are scarce but it said that the Xbox was a sure thing, the other game systems are still up in the air. 1UP has this to add.

Prizefighter is said to provide the deepest boxing experience yet with a documentary-style approach to its presentation. More so than any other boxing game before it, the attempt is to deliver an in-depth career mode, with all the obstacles that face a real boxer -- which is where the legendary boxing promoter's expertise comes in.

We'll have to wait to see exactly what 2K and Don King's take on boxing games will play like, but it's also worth noting that Prizefighter is being developed by 2K's UK-based Venom Games studio, the guys behind the Rocky games for PS2 and Xbox.

We'll actually be back more on the game soon -- including an exclusive first interview with the man himself, Don King -- so stay tuned
