Boxing
History of Boxing
Boxing is the original combat sport. It featured in the ancient Olympic Games, when opponents would fight each other with strips of leather wrapped around their fists.
After centuries of bloody – and sometimes deadly – bareknuckle fights in England, the sport was eventually regulated by the Queensberry rules, created by the Marquess of Queensberry in 1867.
Today's best boxers fight their way to the top through a combination of strength and skill.
Boxing at the Games
Although it was one of the most popular events at the ancient Olympic Games, organisers of the first modern Games thought boxing was too dangerous to be included in the programme.
It was eventually brought in by public demand, and has been part of every Games since Antwerp 1920.
The Games have given fight fans their first chance to see many great boxers, including the young Cassius Clay Junior, later known as Muhammad Ali.
Women's boxing made a brief appearance, as a demonstration sport, at the 1904 Olympic Games. Following an historic decision of the IOC Executive Board in August 2009, women's boxing will be included in the 2012 Olympic Games.
