As a sum up, boxing may be considered as the world’s oldest sport but at its most basic sense, it is fighting. It is a magnificent example of the abilities of human body and few shades can truly match the sight of two heavyweights engaged in fighting toe to toe. It was as old as 688 BC when it came to be included in the ancient Olympic Games. Cravings have shown people fist fighting in front of spectators dating to the 3rd millennium BC so one can easily say that this art of fighting is an ancient one indeed. Most of the modern rules have included the London Price ring rules, Broughton’s rules and the most well-known Marquess of Queensbury rules.

The real objective
The main aim is to conquer the opponent. In other words, one can say “to hit and not be hit”.
Fighters
There are 2 boxers fighting wearing specially designed gloves meant to protect their hands. According to their weight, they are divided with the various governing bodies having different names and weights for the groupings. Fighters here are always meant to fight opponents matching their weights as physical size is major to the contest.
The major boxing rules
• Bouts in professional boxing take place over 12 three-minute rounds with one minute rest between each round.
• The ropes cannot be touched for support.
• If a boxer gets hit with a low blow, then he can take 5 minutes to recover.
• The boxer cannot hit his opponent when they are down.
• The only basic method that the boxer is allowed to use is punching with a tight fist and in no way, the boxer can strike in the kidneys or the head or neck, in short, below the belt.
• If any boxer goes for a foul and the fight gets ended before 4 rounds are finished, there is a “no contest”, from the fifth round onwards, the decision entirely goes to the judges’ cards and then it is either a technical draw or a technical decision for either fighter.
How the winner is chosen
The winner is either decided by a knockout or as scored by the judges if the fight goes the distance.
