Play Muhammad Ali Boxing Online

Muhammad Ali Boxing came out for the Sega Genesis in 1992, published by Virgin Interactive. It was one of the few boxing games of that era that tried to capture the style of a specific fighter rather than offering a generic roster. The graphics were standard for the time, with large, somewhat blocky character sprites and simple, colorful rings set against a digitized crowd.

You control Muhammad Ali through a career mode, fighting a series of opponents to become the champion. The core gameplay involves moving around the ring, throwing jabs, hooks, and uppercuts, while also blocking and dodging incoming punches. A signature mechanic is the ability to "rope-a-dope," leaning on the ropes to avoid damage and tire out your opponent. Matches can feel slow and deliberate, demanding patience to pick your shots rather than swinging wildly. It captures the feeling of a strategic, footwork-heavy fight rather than a simple brawl.
