Looks like Wii Sports: Boxing and Victorious Boxers aren't going to be the only sources for some boxing action on the Wii, as 2K Sports is set to bring Don King Presents: Prizefighter to the Wii. Venom Games will be taking up development duties. You might remember them from other boxing games Rocky and Rocky Legends.Don King had a couple of things to say regarding the game, stating "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." He goes on further to say it is "more than a game -- it is a glimpse at what life is like in and out of the ring for these incredible athletes."
The game is currently slated for a release of spring 2008.

Take Two owns 2K so you weren't so far off anyway.

And Stan Lee thought that every Marvel game was the most amazing thing ever also. Who cares what Don King says about his own video game?

If Don King says it's good you know it's good. One thing about that guy, he never lies. Also I heard he was big time into video games, so he knows what he's talking aboot.
