EA SPORTS will bring back the legendary boxing computer game Fight Night.
Sports fans will have to wait, as developers are focusing on the next UFC release set for late next year according to Video Games Chronicle.
The legendary platform game's last version was in 2011 with the Fight Night Champion title.
This feature was available for iOS and Xbox 360 devices.
EA Canada's Fight Night, which debuted in 2004, was a fixture that became an annual event. It received rave reviews and was sold more than a million copies.
The series was also well received by Champion, but the developer has decided to put it on hold and concentrate its efforts on games for the UFC licensed franchise.
Eddie Hearn, a promoter in boxing, will be delighted to see the classics being brought back.
EA Sports has been previously contacted by the Matchroom boss to request that this boxing game be republished.
ARE YOU PART OF THE COMPETITION? IT'S TIME TO WIN PS5,000! (T&Cs apply). 18+
He confirmed that the software giant responded to his request, saying that they were "looking into" it.
After 2018's Creed: Rise to Glory, which failed to score a knockout punch, fans were thrilled to see a full-boxing game return to consoles.
One Twitter user wrote, "Would make Hearn a hero."
A second addition: "Please let this truth be true."
