Games and Sports

The first records of hand to hand combats are dated back in the ancient Egyptian civilization. There is evidence to suggest, that has been found in Greek and Roman artwork and archives, that these early civilizations highly favored the sport of boxing. During this point of time, boxing had already become a well viewed and well known public event.

Boxing was more brutal in the 18th century, and had risen to being popular in the culture, but it still was not close to the brutality of the fighting seen in gladiator arenas. Nevertheless at this time, boxing was still seen as bloody and less of as a game. In spite of this, at this time, boxing was now being formally recognized in the first boxing championships and titles were being given out as a boxing hall of fame was established.

Back at this time, where formal boxing fights were started, gloves had not been introduced and competitors would fight with bare knuckles. During these early days of boxing, fighters would participate without any confinements or restrictions and would fight in a ring that was created by the spectators themselves without a boxing ring.

Fighters would fight as long as they were possibly able to keep going, at this time referees and gloves were about to be introduced into matches. Sometimes fights would go so long they would continue on into the next day and would last for hours. There were no set limits and depending on what was arranged between fighters, these fights could go for a very long time.
