Tracing back to the origin of boxing, we have to start from ancient times. At that time, in order to hunt for food and protect themselves, human beings used fists, stones and sticks to resist the attacks of wild animals or enemies, which was the embryonic form of the earliest boxing movement.
Archaeologists unearthed many murals and stones engraved with fist fight from the suburbs of Baghdad, recording the scenes of fist fight and fighting at that time.
The Origin and Development of Boxing
With the continuous development of boxing, boxing spread from Egypt to ancient Greece via Crick Island in the Mediterranean, where it was welcomed by many people and gradually became a popular sport.
Ancient boxing, from the beginning to the middle stage of development, has always been an amateur sports activity with the theme of exercising citizens' body and mind. However, in the later period, boxing went to the road of professionalism and commercialization, and boxing became more cruel.
Therefore, in 394 AD, the Roman emperor Theodore Reyes accepted his father's request and ordered all boxing activities to be banned. The ancient Greek boxing, which has been circulating for more than ten centuries, has come to an end.
Modern boxing began in Britain and is divided into amateur boxing and professional boxing. Professional boxing and amateur boxing are quite different in competition system, rules and purpose.
Amateur boxing represents the healthy and upward development direction of boxing, while professional boxing represents professionalism and commercialization. Because of the essential difference between professional boxing and amateur boxing, the International Amateur Boxing Federation stipulates that no professional boxer can participate in amateur boxing competitions, and amateur boxers cannot participate in any professional boxing competitions with bonuses.
On August 24th, 1920, the International Amateur Boxing Association was formally established. Due to the outbreak of World War II, amateur boxing was forced to stop 10, and the International Amateur Boxing Association also existed in name only and was forced to dissolve.
After the war, amateur boxing flourished again and formed a stronger trend.
