2K Sports announce the development of Don King Presents: Prizefighter.  In what is sure to be more than a boxing game, the big question being asked is; Will the extreme hair modelling be up to the challenge?

Slated for a [southern] autumn 2008 release, 2K sports are touting Don King Presents: Prizefighter as the most realistic boxing video game simulation yet.

“The combination of real-life fight scenarios, story-driven gameplay and photo-realistic graphics will set this title apart from the competition,” said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. “Our goal has always been to deliver the most engaging and realistic titles, and Don King Presents: Prizefighter will exceed these expectations.  Based on the game’s innovative features and high-profile fighters, this title will be a ‘must have’ for any sports gamer.”

"In all my years working in professional boxing, I have never seen anything come as close to recreating the thrill, the intensity, the courage and the spectacle of the sport," said legendary boxing promoter Don King.  "Don King Presents: Prizefighter is more than a game -- it is a glimpse at what life is like in and out of the ring for these incredible athletes."

From the developer that built Rocky and Rocky Legends, Venom Games is promising to bring the realism of live action match-ups and the true tactics of the sweet science together for the first time. More than just a night at the fights - players will be responsible for building a career by overcoming adversity, avoiding temptation, and balancing their commitments to train and promote, all while focusing on the goal of ultimately winning and defending the title belt. The story will be told by a revolutionary sports documentary-style narrative never before seen in a video game.

If Venom manage to bring some Don King essence to the small screen,  you will probably hear Don King Presents: Prizefighter arrive before you see it arrive for Xbox 360, Wii and DS in autumn 2008
