4D Sports Boxing is a 3D boxing computer game of the 4D Sports series and developed by Distinctive Software, Inc. (DSI) from Vancouver under their secondary trade name Unlimited Software. Its first version, 1.0, was published by Mindscape, Incorporated, on June 15, 1991. The game was released for PC and Amiga

The game features stylized boxers in polygon-based graphics, composed of triangles, some with names suggestive of non-fictional people. All opponent boxers have different fighting styles - some prefer to attack, some to counter-attack. Some (like Smokin' Joe Blow) have great punching power, some have amazing speed, The Champ has nearly perfect attributes. The game is regarded as one of earliest, and possibly first, examples of a 3D head-to-head fighting game. During the game, the player can choose what attributes to improve in his/her boxer: speed, power or stamina. During the fight it's possible to use different tactics and strategies, like all-out attacks, counter attacks, dodging and so on. Sometimes fights end in an unanimous decision, even 15 round fights.

A second version, 2.0, was published in February 1992.
