A boxing game where you fight your way to the top and aim to become the Heavyweight Champion of the World.
Trivia

The game has five boxers, each with a nickname :

Final Blow was released for the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive in Europe) as "James 'Buster' Douglas Knockout Boxing", featuring then-World Heavyweight Champion James 'Buster' Douglas. The game was released in America in 1990, immediately after his historic victory over 'Iron' Mike Tyson in Tokyo, Japan. The game was one of the key games used to market the console as part of the 'Genesis does what Nintendon't' Campaign, particularly since Nintendo used Mike Tyson for its "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!" video game.
