Version Differences:
The PSVR1 version is significantly harder than the PSVR2 version, due to the fact that you need to defeat every fighter on the highest difficulty. The same boxing tips below still apply, but be prepared to have a much rougher experience. The original version also does not have the Legacy storyline, along with the new fighters, meaning fewer fighters to defeat on the highest difficulty.
The following PSVR1 trophies are either not included in the PSVR2 version or have changed somewhat:
- One Hand Behind Your Back (Unique trophy).
- Stick and Move (Unique trophy).
- …One Punch At A Time (You will need to complete every montage with five stars. In the PSVR2 version, you only need to do it once).
- World Champion (Described above).
Boxing Technique / Fight Strategies.
The best boxing stance for this game is probably the Philly Shell. You can’t roll punches off your shoulders, but you can deflect about 90% of the punches pretty easily by holding the Philly Shell still. The Philly Shell (pictured below) is a very defensive stance, where one hand (your lead, non-dominant hand) is placed right next to your chin. Your other hand (power hand, dominant hand) will be placed slightly above your belly button, protecting your chest. Higher-level fighters do not vary much in attacks.
The Philly Shell works very well in this game, since your opponents tend to throw a combination of punches and then go into defense, where you can easily hit them. You will still need to look out for looping hooks, as they can sometimes get around your lead hand, but you can easily and quickly move your hand a bit to block.
Attacking the opponent is much easier. When the opponent is standing still, you can pretty much tee off on him until he decides to start throwing punches again. If your opponent has both arms guarding his head, hit him to the body to make him drop his hands. The game registers the speed you hit your opponent, and more speed will inflict more damage.
The Philly Shell allows you to have a persistent jab to potentially interrupt your opponent’s combinations. Pop the jab out there, and if your opponent is stunned, follow up with your power hand. If your opponent seems to just be standing in front of you, you can wallop him with hammer fists from two hands at once, which funnily enough is allowed. Inflict enough damage, and your opponent will fall.

How Winning is Done
Complete a Training Session on every type of Minigame in Career Mode or Free Play
You will complete every training minigame while playing Career Mode, but for some reason it doesn’t count towards this trophy, despite the trophy description. Meaning, you will need to do them all over again in Free Play. Training minigames can be found under the Equipment button.
You only need to score one point to count as a training session, meaning you can score a point and wait until the timer expires. Here is a full list of every training minigame (available in every gym):
- Combo Dummy.
- Reaction Bag.
- Flurry Bag.
- Focus Dummy.
- Directional Double Bag.
- Dodge Double Bag.
- Treadmill.
- Pad Training.
- Meat Locker.

Finish a Fight in PVP
PVP is a game mode where you box another player. To start a PVP bout, select PVP from the starting menu and then select Quick Play to find random players. While the online isn’t too active, you can often find a person playing within a minute. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose.

Eat Lightning
Set and achieved goal in Timed Sparring
Timed Sparring is a game mode found under the Fitness button in Free Play. You will be able to choose the amount of time you spar for, and you can go as low as ten seconds. Spar for those ten seconds, and this trophy will unlock. Refer to Crap Thunder for the other fitness trophy.
Crap Thunder

You can select one calorie and ten seconds. You should be able to burn 2-3 calories in ten seconds. Refer to Eat Lightning for the other fitness trophy.
Prince of Punch
Defeat All Fighters in Career Mode or Free Play
After completing Career Mode, you will have defeated the majority of fighters in the game. This will leave you with nine more fighters that you will need to defeat in Free Play. These fighters are all pretty good, and can be defeated on any difficulty. Below is a list of all the fighters left to defeat:
- Apollo “The Prince of Punch” Creed (No Tomorrow!).
- Asif “The Basher” Bashir (Bashed Up).
- Axel “El Tigre” Ramirez (Ojo Del Tigre).
- David “Solo” Nez (Long Ride).
- Erik “The Norseman” Erling (Viking Funeral).
- Ivan Drago (If He Dies, He Dies).
- James “Clubber” Lang (Pain Predicted).
- Rocky “The Italian Stallion” Balboa (…One Punch At A Time).
- Tommy Gunn (Does not have a trophy).
After defeating all the above fighters, along with the fighters you defeat in Career Mode (see Rise to Glory and Legacy), you will have defeated every fighter, and earn this trophy.
Beyond the Distance
Defeat Any Fighter on Champion Difficulty in Career Mode or Free Play
Champion Difficulty is the hardest difficulty in the game, and your difficulty can be changed at any time. Your opponents’ punches will hurt you more and it will take more shots to put your opponent down. This means a defence-heavy stance is favoured, as only a few punches can knock you down. Check out the Boxing Technique section for the best defensive stance.
It is probably easiest to do this trophy in Free Play, and to choose a weak opponent. The easiest opponent is probably Luke “Scraps” O’Grady. You can select different difficulties by selecting Fight Rules.

Block All Hits of a Swarm Using Only One Hand in Career Mode or Free Play
If you take too much damage from an opponent, you can have a special cutscene where you’re taken out of your body, and then need to protect yourself while your opponent swarms you with strikes. This will most likely happen at some point in the story, but to unlock this trophy you need to block all the hits with one glove. This trophy isn’t hard, you just need to know to look out for it.
Luckily, all the hits are easy to telegraph, and they’re all at your head. You should be able to hold your glove pretty still and block all the punches thrown. If you want to easily get this trophy, stand still on purpose and let your opponent hit you. If you get stunned, make sure you don’t get knocked down. Once your opponent activates the special cutscene, be ready for him to start wailing on you.

You will most likely earn this during the natural course of the story.
If you do not get this during the story, you can replay montages in Free Play, through the Montage button.
