Boxing
My Favourite Hobby
Boxing has ancient roots, with evidence of the sport dating back to Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. The sport evolved significantly over time, with the Ancient Greeks introducing rules and incorporating boxing into the Olympic Games around 688 BC. Modern boxing began to take shape in the 18th century in England, where it transitioned from bare-knuckle prizefighting to a more regulated sport with the introduction of the Marquess of Queensberry Rules in 1867.
