EA has announced that Muhammad Ali and “Iron” Mike Tyson will share the cover of Fight Night Round 4.
Fan voting on AliorTyson.com began back in December 2008 and the result has favoured having both boxing legends on the cover. Muhammad Ali, the most celebrated boxer of all time, was famous for his quick tongue and his even quicker hands that wore down his opponents fight after fight. Mike Tyson, a knock out legend, was the youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight championship.
“I’m honoured to be on the cover of Fight Night Round 4 with Ali. He was a special champ, and I have the highest respect for him as a person and a fighter,” said Tyson. “People always ask me if I think I would have beaten Ali if I had the chance to fight him when we were both in our prime. Now you can figure it out for yourselves. Fight Night puts you right in that ring and gives you the gloves to settle the score.”
Fight Night Round 4 promises to revolutionise the fighting genre, featuring an all new physics based gameplay engine that brings the most authentic interpretation of boxing to a video game.
EA has also confirmed that a demo will be released, with a pre-order program in place with GameStop that will offer fans early access to the demo.
Fight Night Round 4 is scheduled for release this summer for Xbox 360 and PS3.
