Play Exciting Boxing (Japan) Online

Exciting Boxing was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan, developed by Konami. It arrived during a period when the NES library was expanding with various sports and action titles, offering a straightforward take on boxing without much fanfare.

You control a boxer from a side view, moving left and right to position yourself and throwing punches with the A and B buttons. The main objective is to knock out your opponent within a three minute round, or to win by decision if time runs out. Signature mechanics include ducking and weaving to avoid incoming punches, and a stamina system that depletes as you throw punches or take hits, forcing you to manage your aggression. The pacing is quick, and the difficulty can feel unforgiving as opponents become more relentless. It feels like a scrappy, no frills fight where every punch matters.
