* Kazuma Kiryu of the ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'' series uses techniques from various styles. However, he has more than a little boxing influence. This is most emphasized in the prequel ''VideoGame/Yakuza0''. Two of Kiryu's three trainers, Bacchus and Kamoji, whom respectively teach the Brawler and Rush styles, are explicitly noted to have experience in boxing. Rush in particular features an emphasis on fast footwork, RapidFireFisticuffs and a high-guard, bladed stance heavily influenced by boxing. Despite this, he notes that he would fare poorly as a professional boxer due to [[CombatPragmatist all the rules and regulations involved]] after beating an intoxicated boxer in a bad mood.
** Appropriately, also from ''Yakuza 0'', RecurringBoss character Kuze is a former pro-boxer. These skills are large part of the reason he's able to repeatedly face off against the much younger Kiryu and hold his own.
** Throughout the franchise, generic thugs fight with a number of styles, from martial arts to pro wrestling. Boxing-type enemies are a common sight, recognized with their "dukes up" posture, bouncing stance, and [[ExtremityExtremist punching attacks]].
** Korean gangster Joon-Gi Han of ''VideoGame/Yakuza6'' fights primarily in a boxing style. In ''Yakuza: Like a Dragon'' as a playable character he [[spoiler:or more specifically his [[LegacyImmortality body double]]]] mixes up his fisticuffs with guns and knives.
** In ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'', Yosuke Tendo is also a former pro-boxer who looks somewhat like a Japanese Mike Tyson and the head of his own family. [[spoiler:He ends up being the game's proper FinalBoss and is tough enough to put up a fight against a group that consists of trained assassins, experienced cops, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking hobos]], especially once he puts on a pair of knuckle dusters that allow him to deliver punches capable of insta-killing anyone]]. To a lesser extent, one of Saeko's starting moves is to do some punches she learned from boxercising.
** In ''Videogame/LostJudgment'', one of the side activities involves Yagami joining a boxing club to investigate a particularly aggressive boxer. With DLC, he actually takes the skills from said club to use as a new [[StanceSystem fighting style]].

* Duke Wriothesley, from ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'', is a [[Cryo AnIcePerson]] catalyst user, but rather than fight with projectiles like other catalyst characters, prefers to augment his boxing skills with his Vision, fighting with boxing moves and a pair of gauntlets. His skill set is even a reference to a boxing move, focusing on manipulating his HP to increase his strength, similair to the tactic of enduring attacks to lure the opponent into lowering their guard (or in boxing terminology, the Rope-A-Dope).
