Watch: Former World Champion Tries Virtual Reality For Boxing

With all the talk of AI, VR and so forth — it is surely only a matter of time before more of it reaches the boxing world.

Something that certainly will be of interest to fight fans.

Be it new boxing computer games finally being released soon and so on.

Former world champion Shawn Porter has been trying a new VR game for boxing and has given it good reviews apparently on his podcast ‘The Porter Way Podcast’:

Seems cool.

It would be interesting if they could get two well-known professional boxers to compete in it.

Maybe then get both their opinions afterwards when the VR bout was over.

Have virtual referees and virtual judges officiating and scoring fights one day at live fights?

Who knows.
