Gameplay
Vec Sports Boxing has both a one player mode and a two player mode.
In one player mode, the player controls a boxer who is training to become the top fighter. The player's coach will call out commands and the player will have to mimic those commands. Accuracy is important and if the player make a wrong move then he will have to start the training session over again.
In two player mode, the players control boxers who are sparring. Each player is trying to wear the other's stamina down and knock them out first. The first to win two rounds wins the match.

Trivia
- Vec Sports Boxing has always been available from Good Deal Games.
- Homebrewer Mark Shaker assembled the first batch of cartridges, but George Pelonis of FURY took over the task of assembling them later when Shaker had to quit making Vectrex cartridges in 2007. This is also why they used the same boxes, as FURY uses for his games.
- This game was also available as Vec Sports Boxing Limited Edition, which consisted of 13 numbered copies including a cart, manual, handmade overlay, and a handmade GCE-style cardboard box.
