Fight Night Champion is a boxing video game developed by EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts. It is the fifth and last entry in the Fight Night series and was released in March 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game takes a drastic turn from its predecessors, depicting a "grittier", "darker" setting with animations and player damage that "truly conveys the brutality of the sport of boxing." The violence and strong language in the game's story mode earned it a Mature rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board, the first EA Sports title to do so.

Known Issues

Game freezing

• Issue 6976: The game will sometimes hang during some fights, particularly during KO sequences.

Black face texture on custom fighter in legacy mode

When using the "legacy mode" (career mode) with a custom fighter, the game might not load the texture for the player face for the first fight, causing the player face (only the face) to be pure black, finishing the first fight will load the texture the next fight.

Custom fighter missing portraits

• Issue 10985: Portraits of created fighters don't show in the menus
