Reception

Adam Pavlacka reviewed the PlayStation version of the game for Next Generation, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Knockout Kings 2000's biggest strength lies in its realism. The lack of arcade play is going to turn off a lot of potential fans."[2]

The PlayStation version of the Knockout Kings 2000 was a runner-up for "9th Annual Gamepro Readers' Choice Awards" for "Best Boxing Game of The Year", which went to Ready 2 Rumble Boxing for Dreamcast.[5]
