About this game

Become a rookie boxing manager with something to prove: recruit promising young amateurs, established professionals or retired veterans, challenge favourable opponents, and train your fighters for upcoming bouts. Fights are won or lost depending on the strategy and tactics you devise, so it’s crucial to analyse both your combatant and your opponent to create the correct fight plan. Winning bouts will move your boxer up their respective weight division rankings, to eventually challenge for the world championship belt itself.

But the boxing world is a slippery one; losing bouts will delay your ability to challenge others, ruining your momentum and allowing other promising stars to challenge your position. Suffering injuries during bouts will lower your boxer’s subsequent fitness, meaning they will be less effective in the next bout unless given time to rest and recuperate. Boxers you seek revenge upon might shift weight division, foiling your plans for immediate payback.

Different boxers peak at different stages during their careers, and as time passes your boxers will age and their abilities will wane. Young, fresh-faced opponents will rise through the ranks to challenge your dominance, and wily old campaigners will battle on long passed their best, eager to show they’ve still got it.

The path to glory is not always clear, and it is up to you how you form your fighters’ careers. Do you ambitiously rush them up through the rankings – challenging as high as you can each time, or do you favour a steadier approach – building your boxer’s skills over more contests? Do you favour the breathless punch exchanges of the lower weight divisions, or the thudding power of the heavier ones? Will you dominate in one weight division for a decade, or will you shift your fighters from division to division, capturing as many titles as possible before their skills begin to wane? Do you allow your recruits to retire undefeated at the peak of their powers, or do you keep ushering them on for one more tilt at the big time, long after their abilities have deteriorated?

The choice is yours; there’s no end-game in LEATHER®. The only definition of glory is your own.

Ratings and reviews

One of the most fun, And addicting games I've ever played. It's genuinely what I've always looked for in a simulation boxing game. It's as in depth as I could wish, maintained regularly, SUPER customizable, and easy to get into. I've genuinely always looked for a boxing game like this, and desperately wish there was an MMA version. It's the peak of sporting sims like Football Coach 2. Genuinely have played for YEARS now.

I love the game. A harder difficulty and more fighters i would love to see! Sometimes it seems like every fighter i sign becomes undisputed and sometimes the divisions run dry and my fighters are fighting the same person 5x with no good contenders coming up. I think making the rankings cut off at like 20 and havr a bunch of unranked fighters, with more turn over would solve the contender problem

Fantastic boxing simulator. If I might make suggestions, additional fight plan customization content, and more abilities as a gym like selecting venues. Also, adding individual sanctioning body rankings in each class would be cool, it would also put more use to the inter continental belts. All in all, a great simulator with very high potential.
