- Survive the first two rounds by keeping away from Isaac Frost and avoiding extended exchanges.
- Land 75 body punches during Rounds 3–5, using short combinations rather than power punches.
- Protect Andre Bishop’s cut during Rounds 6–7, then attack Frost from Round 8 onwards.
Quick Links:
Isaac Frost is the final opponent in Champion Mode of Fight Night Champion. Andre Bishop cannot defeat him by fighting normally from the opening bell because the bout uses scripted objectives across several phases.
The safest strategy is to follow Gus Carisi’s instructions, conserve stamina and avoid trading punches with Frost until the final phase.
Rounds 1–2: Survive Isaac Frost
The only objective during the opening two rounds is to survive.
Stay near the outside of the ring and move away whenever Frost closes the distance. Avoid remaining against the ropes because Frost can trap Bishop and land several powerful punches before there is room to escape.
Do not attempt to knock Frost out during this phase. His strength, stamina and durability are deliberately increased, making direct exchanges heavily favour him.
Keep Bishop’s guard down while moving at a safe distance because boxers move faster when they are not blocking. Raise the guard when Frost enters punching range, then move away after his combination ends.
Rounds 3–5: Land 75 Body Punches
Gus instructs Bishop to land 75 punches to Frost’s body across Rounds 3, 4 and 5.
The punches do not need to be power shots. Standard body jabs, straights and hooks all count towards the objective.
Use short combinations of two to four punches before backing away. Remaining in front of Frost for too long gives him an opportunity to counter or trap Bishop at close range.
A reliable pattern is:
- Move outside Frost’s punching range.
- Wait for him to advance or finish an attack.
- Step in and land several body punches.
- Retreat and allow Bishop’s stamina to recover.
- Repeat until the counter reaches 75.
Body hooks are effective at close range, while body jabs and straights allow Bishop to score from slightly farther away.
Do not waste stamina by holding the power-punch modifier. The objective counts landed body punches rather than total damage.
Rounds 6–7: Protect Bishop’s Cut
Bishop suffers a severe cut before Round 6. You can only take 8 headshots per round now before losing by stoppage to Frost.
The on-screen objective allows only a limited number of head punches during each round. Keep moving, avoid the ropes and do not initiate unnecessary exchanges.
Raise the guard when Frost gets close, but release it when moving around the ring so Bishop can create distance more quickly.
Leaning and repeated close-range blocking are risky because Frost’s size and power can keep Bishop trapped. Footwork is the safest defence during this phase.
The game creates a checkpoint near the start of this section, so failing the cut objective should not require replaying the entire fight.
Rounds 8–12: Knock Out Isaac Frost
Frost becomes vulnerable from Round 8 onwards after the earlier body punches have reduced his effectiveness.
Begin attacking more aggressively, but do not abandon defence completely. Frost can still knock Bishop down if he lands a clean power punch.
Use short head-and-body combinations and keep Frost under pressure when he becomes stunned. Hooks and uppercuts are effective at close range, while straights can interrupt him as he moves forwards. I highly recommend using those power modifier punches I said to refrain from using earlier, in Round 8 onwards.
A knockdown may not immediately end the fight. Continue following the same approach until Frost fails to beat the count or the referee stops the bout.
There is no requirement to knock Frost out specifically in Round 8. The final phase can continue through the remaining rounds.
