Largely associated with Mystery of the Week television series, this is an episode that is wholly or in part structured around the sport of boxing. These episodes tend to crop up most often in action/adventure and crime solving series, but they can also be played for laughs in sitcoms. The episode may simply take place in the world of boxing, where the characters must interact with boxers and coaches to solve some problem. In these cases, one character will often reveal a detailed knowledge of boxing that will only exist for this one episode. Another style of the trope is for one character to, by choice or not, step into the ring. Comedic examples usually make a wimpy character struggle to harness his inner badass to survive, while dramatic examples more often showcase the fighting skills of a tough character. Mixed Martial Arts may be used as a substitute for boxing. May involve an element of Fight Clubbing, Gladiator Games, a Casualty in the Ring, or a Forced Prizefight. Often this will be the result of a former boxer falling on hard times and entering a world of underground fighting to make ends meet, provide for his ailing child/wife/etc, or as an attempt to hang on to the limelight. Compare with Pro Wrestling Episode and Baseball Episode. For films and other works that are actually about boxing, see Sports Stories. Examples |

"The Contenders" two-parter. The plot revolves around eliminating a mobster who is rigging matches, and Barney imitates a former champion (played by Special Guest champ Sugar Ray Robinson) who's making a comeback. | |

Much earlier, one of the first stories centers around the top contender for the heavyweight championship poisoning the champion to win by default-and Batman successfully defending the title in the champion's place in a single round. | |

Zigzagged in Birds of Prey. The cover of issue 106 is done in the style of a boxing poster promoting a bout between Big Barda and Knockout, but the actual story doesn't involve the sport at all. Punching, on the other hand, is very much present. | |

Somewhat justified in the Highlander TV series, since Mac seems to obsessively study every form of combat he comes across (with good reason). | |

Paramount's Modern Madcap: Stars Jeepers and Creepers have a cartoon called "Busy Buddies" in which Creepers has to make some money to pay an outstanding IRS debt. He unwillingly becomes a boxer in a match offering a $1000 cash prize. Thanks to Jeepers, he wins and pays off his immediate debt (but now he owes for the money he just won). | |
