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

I downloaded this app yesterday and must confess to be worringly hooked (Scouse the pun) already!. Over the years I have played many boxing games and Sims and would already rate this up there with the very best. Reminds me a bit of boxtoglory which used to be available on pc. This game would be excellent on the pc as well. As far as I can see this is by far the best 🥊 management game out there right now. The realism and attention to detail is amazing!. Also no ads or extra payments!!!!!

Amazing game that can even hang with PC management sims. But has there been some kind of recent update to ai boxers? It used to be you'd have guys at the bottom of the rankings who were 2-26 with bad stats. Now many of those 2-26 guys have one world class stat. I just fought a guy who was 3-21 who had a guarding ability of 99 - thats GOAT level. He was impossible to hit. That's not a game breaker though. Overall this game is great and the dev updates and fixes problems very quickly.

The gameplay is what it's meant to be, overseen from a managerial point if view. I feel like Mickey from the Rocky movies. It'd be better to yell mid-round to switch from normal to southpaw but it's still nice to switch tactics between rounds. The menus are a little confusing at first but if you have a mind they're usable... Unlike some who isn't playing right, to be "frank." This game is damn fine in all its endeavors.
