I have received in my inbox info on the liscensed boxers that will be featured in Codemasters upcoming game Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing

"As development continues on Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, Codemasters is promising the most intuitive and responsive play created for a boxing video game.

Get your hands on the controls and you’ll feel a real connection with throwing heavyweight style punches. Each of the 14 professional boxers featured has his own signature punches, counter punches, hooks, jabs as well as a full range of blocks, dodges and pushes for successful evasion and defence.

Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing is visually dramatic with real time facial animation, damage, flowing motion-captured boxer models and multiple camera angles including an in-your-face first-person viewpoint.

Like the sport, Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing’s gameplay is aggressive and confrontational and, for the first time, will deliver a video game that the hard-hitting sport deserves.

Codemasters will launch Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing in April 2002 for PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
