History of Boxing:

Treat yourself, your friends and family to a memory that will last a lifetime with Boxing tickets at btix.org. Fist fighting for a sport & spectacle is probably as old as sports itself. Boxing contests were found throughout time. There is some evidence that suggest that boxing was prevalent in North Africa during 4000 BC. Boxing was 1rst accepted as an Olympic sport (Greeks called it Pygmachia) in 688 BC, participants in this ancient game trained on punching bags (called a korykos). Keeping their fingers free, boxers wore leather straps (called himantes) on their hands, wrists, and sometimes lower arms, to protect them from injury, but were mostly naked when competing.

The word "boxing" 1rst came into use in 18th Century England to distinguish between fighting to settle disputes, & fighting under agreed rules for a sport. It is now used to describe a sport in which 2 contestants (boxers) wearing padded gloves - face each other in a "ring" and fight under recognized rules & an agreed number of "rounds". Although the men have always been most of the participants in this sport, there are some references to fights between women during the 18th century also, and women's boxing was organized again at the end of the 20th century.
