Fight Night 2004 is a boxing game developed by EA Sports, released in 2004 for Xbox and PlayStation 2. It marks the launch of the Fight Night series, succeeding EA's earlier Knockout Kings franchise. The core experience centers on a career mode in which players build a custom boxer from the ground up, beginning in small, rundown gyms and working toward an undisputed championship. Along the way, training minigames allow stat improvements across categories such as power, speed, stamina, agility, and endurance. The game's "Total Control" system maps movement and defense to the left analog stick while assigning all punching to the right, aiming for precise, nuanced control over in-ring actions. Career progression unlocks cosmetic rewards including clothing, entrance music, and ring accompaniments. Standard exhibition modes are also available. The PlayStation 2 version supports online play through EA Sports' network, and the title integrates with EA Sports Bio, a cross-game progression tracker tied to a shared Gamer Level system.
