Title Bout Championship Boxing is the latest rendition of a professional boxing
simulation that dates back to the highly successful and current cult classic
board game, Title Bout: The Game of Professional Boxing, produced by Avalon Hill
Game Company.
In 1976 Jim and Tom Trunzo began selling their board game boxing simulation,
under the auspices of Jim Barnes' Statis-Pro Games, a humble effort simply
called Professional Boxing debuted with fifty rated heavyweights. Enough
interest was shown in the neophyte product to encourage the 1977 release of a
mail order product entitled Truco Championship Boxing, which contained over 200
rated fighters from boxing's eight main divisions.
