ancient Olympic Games by the Greeks in the late 7th century BC, when soft leather thongs were used to
bind boxers' hands and forearms for protection.

The first documented account of a bare-knuckle fight in England
appeared in 1681 in the London Protestant Mercury, and the first
English bare-knuckle champion was James Figg in 1719. This is also
the time when the word "boxing" first came to be used. This
earliest form of modern boxing was very different.

people, usually wearing protective gloves,
helmets, throw punches at each other for a

Olympic and Commonwealth Games sport and

Championships.
