To compete at the highest level, boxing has to be in your tool bag!

Finishing off - we'll put it all together
Boxing as a sport involves using the fists to attack your opponent, and for defence as well. Boxers usually wear padded gloves and generally observe the code set forth in the Marquess of Queensberry Rules.
Boxing first appeared as a formal Olympic event in the 23rd Olympiad (688 BCE), but fist fighting contests must certainly have had their origin in mankind’s prehistory. The earliest visual evidence for boxing appears in Sumerian relief carvings from the 3rd millennium BCE. A relief sculpture from Egyptian Thebes (c. 1350 BCE) shows both boxers and spectators. These were bare-fisted contests with, at most, a simple band supporting the wrist.
The earliest evidence of the use of gloves or hand coverings in boxing is a carved vase from Minoan Crete (c. 1500 BCE) that shows helmeted boxers wearing a stiff plate strapped to the fist. Boxing has become one of the best all-round body work outs. It's about time the fitness industry took notice. Check out this Men’s Health blog 👇
