House of Boxing: How To Play and Earn!
Introducing House of Boxing, the ultimate Boxing Manager Game where you take charge to Manage, Compete, and Win rewards by guiding your boxer to the top and engaging in weekly global predictive tournaments against other players.
Similar to traditional fighting games, you’ll earn coins based on your boxer’s performance. Use these coins to train, improve, level-up your boxer, and gain access to better arenas, ultimately aiming to become the World Champion.
However, what sets House of Boxing apart is its unique twist – every week, you have the chance to compete for tens of thousands of dollars in tournament prizes. These exciting tournaments are predictive competitions, where you can stake your hard-earned coins to predict real-world boxing fight winners across the globe. Depending on your performance, you’ll be ranked, and you stand a chance to win amazing rewards, including substantial cash prizes (keep an eye out for the upcoming $100,000 global tournaments in August), tickets to fights, merchandise, and valuable in-game assets.
