Boxing isn't just about throwing punches. It's about staying sharp when you're tired, reading your opponent, and making split-second decisions under pressure. That's fight IQ and no other boxing app trains it. BoxingBrain is the first app to combine real boxing training with cognitive performance training. Train your hands. Train your mind. Train sharp, fight smart. THE ONLY BOXING APP WITH BRAIN TRAINING Between rounds, most apps just give you a rest timer. BoxingBrain gives you brain games built to sharpen the exact skills that separate sharp fighters from tired ones: - Schulte Table - tests visual scanning and peripheral awareness - Reaction Tap - tests split-second response speed - Stroop Test - tests focus under conflicting signals - Number Recall - tests working memory under fatigue Every session feeds your Brain Score, a personal performance benchmark tracked over time so you can measure your cognitive sharpness alongside your physical conditioning. No other boxing app measures this. Most don't even try. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY TRAIN FITNESS MODE For cardio, combos, and weight loss. Get a real boxing workout without needing a gym, a coach, or a bag — just your phone, a timer, and a plan that keeps you accountable. FIGHTER MODE For sparring prep and fight IQ. Built for amateur fighters who already know how to box and want an edge — sharper reactions, better recall under pressure, and training that respects your actual skill level. SMART SESSIONS THAT ADAPT TO YOU Today's Session reads your recent training history and adjusts automatically: - Trained yesterday? Get a recovery session. - Back after a few days off? Welcome back with a moderate re-entry session. - On a 7-day streak? Get pushed harder — you've earned it. CORE FEATURES - Smart Today's Session — adapts to your training history daily - Boxing round timer with audio cues — Fighter, Fitness, Open Round - 6 persona-matched workout templates (Beginner to Advanced) - Custom workout builder — build combos and rounds your way - Brain streak tracking — build a daily cognitive training habit - Physical streak with Shield and Freeze — stay accountable without punishing a missed day - Apple Health integration — sync workouts automatically to your fitness rings - 12-week analytics — track physical AND cognitive progress side by side - Full training history and calendar WHY BRAIN TRAINING MATTERS FOR BOXERS Every boxing app on the market focuses on your body. None of them train the thing that actually wins close rounds and close fights: your ability to think clearly when you're gassed. BoxingBrain isn't a novelty add-on, it's built on the idea that boxing has always been a thinking sport, and now your training can reflect that. Brain Score is a personal performance benchmark based on cognitive testing protocols. It is not a clinical assessment and does not measure, diagnose, or predict medical conditions. START FREE The core experience — timer, Schulte Table brain game, streak tracking, and Apple Health sync — is free, no catch. Upgrade to Premium for the full brain training suite, custom workout builder, complete analytics, and more.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Session at none against BoxingBrain's 3. Session also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). BoxingBrain's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
