Explore how boxing evolved from ancient bare-knuckle contests into a modern global sport shaped by rules, media, and debate.
Boxing is one of the oldest combat sports, shaped by rules, culture, and public taste. In ancient Greece, it appeared in the Olympic Games in 688 BCE. Fighters used leather straps on their hands, and bouts ended only when one man yielded. Roman contests later grew harsher, and the sport declined in Europe after Rome fell.
