UNDISPUTED LAUNCHES THE SENATOR PACK

Step into the ring with the legendary Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao

October 24, 2025: Steel City Interactive and PLAION announce The Senator Pack, a premium DLC for Undisputed, headlined by legendary Filipino boxer Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao, available October 28th.

Widely considered one of the greatest fighters in boxing history, Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao is the only boxer in history to win world titles in multiple weight divisions. Players will get the chance to emulate his record-breaking career and relentless fighting spirit across five weight divisions in Undisputed.    

The Senator Pack adds a new fighter pack with the following joining the Undisputed roster:

  • Edgar Berlanga: American/Puerto Rican boxer who became widely known early in his career for his incredible knockout streak — he won his first 16 professional fights all by first-round knockout. His impressive start in boxing granted him the nickname ‘The Chosen One’.
  • Sergey Kovalev: Former three-time light heavyweight world champion, holding titles from the WBA, WBO, and IBF. Known for his heavy punching power and high knockout ratio.
  • Vinny Paz: Legendary, now retired, American professional boxer known for his toughness, charisma, and incredible comeback story. Defying the odds, he returned to the ring a year after a serious car accident and continued winning — cementing his reputation as one of boxing’s most resilient figures.
  • Egidijus ‘Mean Machine’ Kavaliauskas: Lithuanian boxer known for his power and aggressive fighting style – hence the nickname, ‘Mean Machine’. The former two-time Olympian has scored many heavy-hitting knockouts throughout his career.
  • Evgeny Gradovich: Legendary, nowretired Russian professional boxer who was known for his high work rate, toughness, and relentless pressure style. His professional record boasts 21 wins (9 by KO), 2 losses, 1 draw, and 1 no contest.
  • Ricardo Mayorga: Nicknamed ‘El Matador’, the Nicaraguan boxer was known for his brawling style, granite chin, and psychological warfare — often taunting opponents, smoking cigarettes at press conferences, and engaging in wild pre-fight antics.

The Senator Pack also delivers a new Apparel Pack, including brand new in-game kits for Terence Crawford, Deontay Wilder, Ryan Garcia, Shawn Porter, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Heather Hardy. 

This new drop follows The Takeover Pack, Mexican Monster, Iron and Steel, Problem Child, and The WBC Packs, further building one of the most expansive rosters in any fighting game and reaffirming Undisputed’s commitment to authenticity.

The recently announced Undisputed Championship Edition, the heavy-hitting content package following a year of epic DLC drops, will launch on October 28th, one week later than originally announced.

The Senator Pack is available to download from October 28th. Undisputed is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
