Description

Boxing is a combat sport where two competitors fight using only their fists, typically wearing gloves, in a roped-off square ring. A match consists of a series of rounds, each lasting a few minutes, with breaks in between. The objective is to land punches on the opponent while avoiding their attacks. Scoring is based on the number of clean hits, effectiveness of punches, defense, and overall control of the match. Key skills include strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and strategic thinking.

Boxing is popular globally, with major followings in the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the Philippines. It features different weight classes and organizations, including major bodies like the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO, hosting prestigious bouts and championships.

History
History

Boxing originated as a hand-to-hand combat sport in ancient civilizations like Greece and Rome. Initially, it was a brutal and unregulated contest, often resulting in severe injuries. The sport evolved significantly in the 18th century in England, where the first formal rules, known as the Broughton's rules, were introduced. These rules emphasized fair play and the safety of boxers. The Marquess of Queensberry rules, established in the 19th century, further refined the sport, introducing gloves and rounds, and outlining more specific regulations. This transformation marked the transition to modern boxing, making it more structured and safer, while maintaining its essence as a test of strength, skill, and resilience.

Jack Johnson was probably the first world heavyweight boxing champion of African American origin. As a boxing legend, John Arthur Johnson was nicknamed the “Galveston Giant” and won seventy matches in his boxing career. At one time, he fought boxing abroad to avoid serving prison sentences. His boxing style was defensive, leaving the opponent to tire first and then becoming offensive as the fight continues. He also preferred not to win on knockout but punishing opponents with strikes and blows through the rounds. He is also among legendary boxers admitted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame and the disbanded Boxing Hall of Fame of The Ring magazine.
