LAS VEGAS, NV – Renowned ring announcer Ramblin Ralph Velez, hailing from Phoenix and Las Vegas, has inked a deal with Steel City Interactive to feature in what is poised to be the most monumental boxing video game in history, “Undisputed”.
Velez, who has graced the rings of boxing icons like Jake Paul, Showtime PPV, and DAZN, and currently holds the honor of being the personal ring announcer for Floyd Mayweather and Mayweather Promotions, has embarked on the initial steps for his virtual debut by flying to Sheffield, England, for scanning. With over 100 boxers set to be showcased in the game, Velez and Jimmy Lennon are the chosen announcers.
“To share this project with my mentor, friend, and hero Jimmy Lennon is a blessing,” said Velez, who also serves as the primary ring announcer for Seddiqi Sports in Abu Dhabi. “I’m eager to carve out a legacy for myself and be part of history. My heartfelt thanks to ASH and Todd Grisham for recognizing my contribution to the game.”
Joining Velez and Lennon in “Undisputed”, veteran Hall of Fame referee Kenny Bayless is also featured, available in the game’s early release on Steam.
The game has secured partnerships with major sanctioning bodies like the WBC and established a collaboration with TURKEY ALSHEIKH and Riyadh Season, solidifying its position as a groundbreaking venture in combat sports gaming.
“It’s a childhood dream come true,” continued Velez. “From creating myself in video games as a kid to now being featured authentically, showcasing my profession – it’s truly incredible. I hope this platform serves as inspiration for youngsters worldwide. Regardless of where you come from, with hard work and belief, you can defy the odds and turn your dreams into reality.”
