What is boxing you ask?

One ring, one referee, two combatants. Each combatant attempts to punch each other on the head/body to defeat his/her opponent.

History of Boxing: Boxing was created in 1866, and there have been plenty of punch contests in the past, but it really begun to become a SPORT back then... and then in the 1900s. When the great Muhammad Ali was a boxer, the sport became even more fruitful and enjoyable to watch, making it what it is today. Boxing has 8 professional divisions which are broken down by weight. Flyweight, Bamtamweight, Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight, Light Heavyweight, and Heavyweight.

And of course, we all know of boxing perhaps from the greatest boxing movies ever... THE ROCKY SERIES, which also has a section on gamelegacies!
