Any good boxing/fencing games?

Just had a thought this morning that boxing should work really well in current gen VR - together with table tennis, handgun shooting, driving with a steering wheel and flying with a joystick... Is there an "Eleven:table tennis" like boxing game/sim? I do stress the sim part requirement, shallow arcades don't hold my attention for longer than 5 minutes- if that...

PS Fencing would be perfect in VR too (the sport kind, not putting wood panels up :cool:

), where are our VR Eleven:katana, Eleven:rapier and Eleven:lightsabre simulators?

All we have is the silly FruitNinja it seems...

Cheers!
BoxVR seems to be about punching flying balloons, not actual fighting. I wanna float like a butterfly and sting like a bee

Thrill of the fight looks like exactly what I am after, but its physics/hit detection seem to be rather off - in this video at least
E.g @00:58

Will check it out this evening, and refund if it's no good.

Been really busy but look forward to a bit of VR and thrill of the fight tomorrow. I'm not really looking for fitness (I'm kinda ok as is, plus sweating in a headset does not really appeal, might as well go for a real jog instead). I wanted to learn about counterpunching, so a decent VR simulation should be fun to explore.

Yep, my first impressions are it's no Eleven: Table Tennis. The collision detection seems to be hit and miss, and in general the level of game development and polish is long way off. I think it is cheap enough and fun enough to keep, but it's no ultimate boxing experience, that is for sure. (and I really need to expand my playspace

)
