Key Highlights:
- Full roster list in strict weight-class order from Heavyweight down to Bantamweight.
- Includes DLC status, Champion Mode unlocks, and which Fight Night Champion fighters are not required for “A Fist For Every Face”.
- Accurate for all PC, Xbox and PlayStation versions in 2025.
This guide lists every boxer in Fight Night Champion, grouped by weight class, with accurate unlock conditions, DLC requirements, and champion-mode exclusives that still work in 2025. It also clarifies which fighters are not needed for the A Fist For Every Face achievement.
Quick Links:
All listings are platform-agnostic: Xbox (all versions), PlayStation, and PC emulation see identical fighter behaviour.
If you’re here after using my unlock-everything workaround, this is the companion reference to confirm which fighters require Champion Mode progression, which need DLC, and which cannot be legitimately unlocked anymore.
