Real Boxing Manny Pacquiao: Everything you need to know

In this game, you'll be able to play as Pacquiao in all modes. There's also the ability to create and customize a character with new clothes and Pacquiao-branded equipment. There will be online tournaments, which is a slight tweak to the game's control scheme and a variety of single-player modes. From the screenshots provided, it's also clear the visuals have taken a step up in clarity and vividness (no pun intended). 

The mobile format may not be exactly what virtual fight fans are craving in a new boxing video game, but perhaps the arrival of this kind of title keeps hope alive that the sport will one day make it back to consoles.
