Boxing Star - PvP Match 3: A Knockout or a Low Blow?
The popular sports sim, Boxing Star, enters the match-3 puzzle arena, delivering a competitive twist on the familiar formula. Available now on Android and iOS, this isn't your grandma's Candy Crush.
This head-to-head puzzle game challenges players to outscore opponents through classic match-3 mechanics. High combos translate directly into virtual fisticuffs between player avatars.
It's a refreshing departure from the typically serene settings of most match-3 games, offering a unique, arguably more mature, take on the genre. The contrast between the violent boxing theme and the puzzle gameplay is striking.

While the concept is innovative, the execution feels somewhat unpolished. The game appears to reuse assets from the original Boxing Star, and the match-3 gameplay itself lacks a distinctive feel.
Despite its shortcomings, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 offers a different kind of match-3 experience. After a round of virtual boxing, explore our curated list of the top 25 best puzzle games for iOS and Android – a constantly updated collection of diverse and engaging titles!
