Line 51:
* ''[[Are You Being Served?|Are You Being Served]]'': Captain Peacock is challenged to a boxing match, but backs out. Mr. Humphries is chosen to take his place in a wrestling match and loses. Then Mrs. Slocombe enters the ring.
* ''[[Just Shoot Me]]'': Dennis goes out with a female boxer, but is challenged by her ex-girlfriend, also a boxer.
* ''[[iCarly]]'': the one-hour special "iFight Shelby Marx", in which Carly watches MMA fighter Shelby Marx (played by [[Victoria Dawn Justice]]) on TV and, [[I Was Just Joking|as a joke]], challenges her to a match. [[Oh Crap|Shelby accepts.]]
* ''[[Friends]]'': "The One With The Ultimate Fighting Champion", where Monica's millionaire boyfriend wants to be the Ultimate Fighting Champion.
* ''[[Wings (TV series)|Wings]]'': "Raging Bull%$%#". Joe signs up for an amateur boxing tournament, expecting to get some revenge on a childhood bully, while Brian signs up as an alternate in case Joe backs out. However, when the other fighter backs out instead, the brothers find themselves pitted against one another.
Line 74:
* ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' had a late-season episode centering around Chakotay's recreational boxing, which apparently was causing brain damage—but actually something else was going on that explained his weird visions and blackouts. Also another episode where Seven and Tuvok are kidnapped to become gladiators.
* ''[[Quantum Leap]]'', "The Right Hand of God": Sam leaps into a boxer "owned" by a sisterhood of nuns. The episode reveals Al as something of a boxing aficionado, but it doesn't do Sam much good since holograms make poor boxing trainers.
* ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'' has the "The Contenders" as a set of two episodes. The plot revolves around eliminating a mobsters, and Barney takes the role of a another boxer, having been revealed to have been a successful one before.
* ''[[Lois and Clark]]'' had "Requiem for a Superhero", which featured the Daily Planet investigating why several boxers appeared to have strength beyond mortal men. They're cyborgs.
* ''[[Leverage]]'' - "The Tap-Out Job", where Eliot poses as a MMA fighter as part of the heist, and the plot eventually leads to a (sort of) [[Forced Prize Fight]].
Line 109:

* The Set Up, a Vice case in [[
* One of the jobs the ''[[Three Stooges]]'' can take in the PC/console game is boxing, which functions like the "Punch Drunks" example from above: Larry has to get a radio playing the "Pop Goes the Weasel" tune before the fight ends.
* ''[[Bully (video game)|Bully]]'' has a boss fight that starts in the boxing ring. Outside the storyline, it's still fun, earns cash, and unlocks a [[Save Point]].
