Boxing Facts

Boxing has existed for thousands of years, with its roots in ancient Greece and Rome. Modern boxing originated in 17th-century England and became regulated with the Queensberry Rules in the 19th century. Fighters compete in weight classes, using gloves to protect hands and faces. Icons like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and Manny Pacquiao have etched their names in history. Boxing is as much a mental battle as a physical one, with endurance, technique, and tactical brilliance at its core.

History of Boxing

Boxing’s history dates back to ancient civilizations, with organized fights documented in Egyptian and Mesopotamian cultures. The sport gained prominence in ancient Greece, becoming part of the Olympic Games in 688 BCE. After fading during the medieval period, it resurfaced in England during the 17th century, evolving from bare-knuckle fighting to modern regulated matches with gloves. The establishment of global governing bodies and weight divisions in the 20th century made boxing an international spectacle and a multi-billion-dollar sport.
