Steel City Interactive has announced that Undisputed update 1.5 is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, August 26, bringing new fighters, a historic venue, key gameplay adjustments and plenty of fixes.
Thanks to an early leak of the video, one of boxing’s most iconic gyms is stepping into the game as the legendary Kronk Gym joins the lineup. Based in Detroit, this storied venue has produced 41 world champions and now gives players a chance to train and fight in the same space that shaped so many greats.
A couple of fighters are set to join the roster as well. Antonio “The Magic Man” Tarver, a multi-division world champion who also appeared in Rocky Balboa, makes his debut. He’s joined by Billy Dib, the former two-time world champion who battled back from cancer in 2022 and returned to the ring for one final victory on his own terms.
As for gameplay changes, the jab has been given more power, now capable of dropping opponents the way legends like Wladimir Klitschko and Larry Holmes once did. Southpaw stances have also been rebalanced, fixing an issue where switching led to an unrealistic speed boost. Online players will be glad to know losses will no longer count when an opponent quits, putting an end to one of the most frustrating issues in competitive play.
Fighter ratings have been revisited with help from boxing historians, leading to adjustments that better reflect each boxer’s achievements and level of opposition. Sergio Maravilla Martinez, for example, had his stats tuned down slightly to keep things more balanced.
Along with these updates, the patch also includes bug fixes across gameplay, audio, character creation and more. The full patch notes are available below for anyone looking to dig into all the details.
