History Main / BoxingBattler

* ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'' has Alito, one of the Seven Barian Lords, whose signature "Battlin' Boxer" monsters fit this archetype. He also fights like a boxer himself.

** Ideo, King Elizabello II and Kelly Funk from the Corrida Colosseum. Special mention to Elizabello and his King punch. It's said to be sufficient to bring down an Emperor, but he can only use it once per hour and is largely helpless while he's building up the momentum to perform it. He can, however, fire it off early at the cost of reduced power.

* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'': While she was originally a more rounded fighter in ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'', [[KungFuJesus Vivio]] adopted a pure boxing style by the time of ''Anime/VividStrike'' (complete with ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'' {{Shout Out}}s).

** 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]].

* In ''Film/BlackKnight'', Jamal uses boxing moves to defeat three medieval bullies, who were quite strong but clearly didn't know how to fight, and were confused by Jamal's stances and footwork.

** ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'s fighting style is described by [[ComicBook/ImmortalIronFist Danny Rand]] as "old-school jujutsu-- with a little New York Irish Boxer thrown in for good measure." Makes sense, considering Daredevil's father was a professional boxer.

* In ''Manga/KenganAshura'', Gaolong Wongsawat is the heavyweight boxing champion of the world and averts the typical habit of boxers being jobbers in Martial Arts stories by being a powerhouse capable of shocking agility. Even then, his primary fighting style is actually Muay Thai and he took up boxing to compensate for it's lack of punches.

* Yuu from ''Manga/{{Holyland}}'' starts out using boxing because it was the first thing he picked up. He moves away from pure boxing as the story goes on.

* [[VideoGame/DarkSoulsII]] allows you the emulate this if you dual-wield the caestus or other fist weapons, though some have a moveset more reminiscent of Kung Fu.

* Ryoko, protagonist of ''LightNovel/OokamiSan'' uses boxing techniques, and even has a pair of electrified [[PowerFist boxing gloves]]

* In ''Series/DoctorWho,'' the First Doctor, a [[SilverFox gray-haired old man]] beats a Roman assassin this way, then mentions how he used to be a boxing coach.

* Wrestling/CelticChampionshipWrestling in Ireland has Marion Armstrong - who calls himself "Mr. Knockout". He wrestles primarily with bare-knuckle boxing moves and occasionally wears the traditional robe to the ring.

[[folder:Webcomics]]

* The protagonist of "Webcomic/{{Dogfight}}" counts as this since he originally trained to be a boxing before he started working as a fighter for Amaranth. While he does use a combination of kicks, headbutts, bites, knees, elbows, brawling, and grappling... boxing is still his primary fighting style.

* Bumblebee from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' busts out some boxing moves against a Vehicon in the episode "Convoy." Must've [[AliensStealCable picked it up from cable.]]

* SherlockHolmes is a classically-trained boxer, as well as a student of other disciplines such as [[CaneFu singlestick]] and jiu-jitsu.

** 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]]]].

* Marvelous Marc Mero (formerly known as "Johnny B. Badd") used a boxing gimmick as a professional wrestler in the [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} WWF]]. He came to the ring in boxing trunks rather than UnderwearOfPower and used boxing moves (albeit bare-knuckle) when he could.

* Yang, the BareFistedMonk in ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', has a fighting style that's a mishmash of many styles under RuleOfCool, but boxing techniques and stances are among her most visible influences. Based on her blocking and footwork (specifically how she slides to dodge attacks), she fights like a boxer, with some martial arts training to integrate her legs.

* Sophia Blazkowicz from ''VideoGame/WolfensteinYoungblood'' is officially described as a "bare-knuckle brawler" and is seen pounding a heavy bag in the first two trailers. Of course, this never comes into play in-game since both sisters use knives and hatchets for melee attacks.
