Boxing (sometimes known as pugilism,
Anglais boxing, Fistfighting, or English boxing) is a combat sport in which two
participants (generally) of similar weight fight each other with their fists.
Boxing today is conducted in a regulated way, typically in a series of one to
three-minute intervals called rounds. Victory is achieved if the opponent is
knocked down and unable to get up before the referee counts to ten seconds (a
Knockout, or KO) or if the opponent is deemed too injured to continue (a
Technical Knockout, or TKO). If there is no stoppage of the fight before an
agreed number of rounds, a winner is determined either by the referee's decision
or by judges' scorecards.
Although fighting with fists comes naturally to people, the ancient Greeks were
the first to make a sport of it, by giving rules and staging tournaments with
professionals. The birth hour of boxing as a sport may mark its allowance as an
Olympic game as early as 688 BC. Modern boxing evolved in Europe, particularly
Great Britain.
In some countries with their own fighting sports, the sport is referred to as
"English Boxing" (e.g. in France to contrast with French boxing). There are
numerous different forms of boxing practiced across the world.
