Boxing is a brilliant fit for virtual reality, and Knockout League looks set to bring some Punch Out-inspired sparring to PlayStation VR next year. Using a combination of Sony’s headset and the PlayStation Move wands to allow you to dodge, weave, and throw a mean haymaker, the title will see you training before duelling against a cast of wacky characters.
Check out the trailer embedded above for a first look at the title in motion.

As someone who actually does boxing and kickboxing, I wish I could try this out and see if it significantly carries over to the game. I would assume so.
@KirbyTheVampire I dunno, this seems quite arcade rather than a simulation. I doubt your real-world skills would translate as well as you'd hope they would.
@get2sammyb I mean in terms of dodging and such than actual punching mechanics, which obviously wouldn't carry over to the game aside from speed, but it all depends on how realistic that portion of the game is.
This seems like it would be a ton of fun.
Now if only I had a PSVR...
