Boxing ranks among the Olympic Games' most illustrious sports. It is a sport where two participants of similar weight attack each other with their fists in a series of one to three-minute intervals called "rounds".

When it first arrived in the Ancient Olympic Games, the tools of the trade were long strips of leather wrapped around boxers' fists. The fight continued until one man or the other went down or conceded. The Romans followed with a gladiator dimension. They used gloves studded with spikes or weighted with lead, and fights often ended in death, like other entertainment of the day.
