Boxing history
Boxing is perhaps the oldest hand-to-hand combat sport, with the first record appearing in Homer’s Iliad (ca. 675 BC). It was popularized in ancient Rome, both as an athletic sport and a gladiatorial exhibition, where fighters, usually criminals or slaves, would use leather straps over their knuckles and forearms for protection. It became an Olympic sport circa 688 BC.
Boxing involves two participants of similar weight, duking it out with only their fists. Today, boxing is supervised by a referee and typically consists of one to three-minute rounds. A bout is won by Knockout (KO), where an opponent is unable to get off the mat after ten seconds, a Technical Knockout (TKO) where an opponent is too injured to continue, or a decision by the judges’ scorecards.
Boxing has evolved to include numerous styles from all over the world. Boxers have a variety of different fighting styles, stances, defenses and punches. The techniques learned in boxing are often at the core of many fighters’ training.
