HISTORY OF BOXING

Fist fighting for sport and spectacle is probably the oldest sport in the world. Pugilism is the other name for boxing, which has its roots in ancient Greece and Rome. Among ancient art they held boxing competition. Greek boxers wore unlined leather boxing gloves wrapped around their necks under their elbows. But unlike now they were naked when they fought. The word “boxing” first came into use in England in the 18th century to make a difference between fights to settle disputes and fights under mutually defined conditions for sports. It describes a fight with an agreed number of rounds under recognizable rules.
The first documented boxing match took place in 1681 in Britain. Then the duke of Albermarle competed with the butler and the butcher. In the coming years, bare knuckle boxing matches will be held in amphitheatres all over England.

In 1927 The National Boxing Association (NBA) became the first of the “sanctioning bodies” that governed the sport. Today, 4 recognized sanctioning bodies control the world of boxing. The WBA (World Boxing Association), WBC (World Boxing Council), IBF (Iternational Boxing Federation) and WBO (World Boxing Organization).

One of the most famous boxers of all time is Jack Dempsey and Muhammad Ali.
