Boxing has a long history and originated from the beginning of mankind. In order to survive and compete, human beings invented it. At first, it was a means to protect people's lives and property. Records show that it has a history of more than 5000 years. The Encyclopedia Britannica records that "the remains of boxing were found in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in the 40th century BC". The ancient Egyptians recorded the boxing protective gear "leather bandage" in hieroglyphics. Later, about17th century BC, boxing spread to ancient Greece through Crick Island in the Mediterranean. On a pair of magnetic bottles excavated on the Aegean coast in the 5th century BC, there are fist patterns of two people attacking and defending each other. In Greek mythology, it is said that Saihi Assi, the prince of Athens (BC 1000), was familiar with boxing and played it. In the archaeological excavations in Mesopotamia, the remains of boxing activities 1700 years ago were also found.

Modern boxing originated in England in the18th century. At that time, there were no gloves, no rules and no time limit until Party B lost the ability to continue the competition. J- broughton, a famous British boxer, formulated the earliest boxing rules in 1743 and designed boxing gloves in 1747, which contributed to the development of modern boxing. 1839, Britain promulgated the new rules of the London Boxing Championship, which were revised in 1853, prohibiting kicking, hitting the head and hitting with the teeth, and stipulating that the boxing ring should be surrounded by ropes. 1867, British journalist Chambers wrote new boxing rules, emphasizing the tactics and skills in boxing. The British Amateur Boxing Association was founded in London in 1880, and the championship was held in 1 881year. The International Amateur Boxing Federation was founded on the eve of the 8th Olympic Games in 1924. There are two kinds of boxing at the same time in the world today, namely professional boxing and amateur boxing. Boxing competitions in the Olympic Games and the Asian Games belong to amateur boxing. There are great differences between the two kinds of boxing in the rules and methods of competition. At the third Olympic Games held in St Louis, boxing was listed as an official event for the first time. There are only 44 athletes from/kloc-0 countries in the United States, so the United States naturally won all the championships in seven levels. By 18 Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Japan in 1964, there were 269 athletes from 56 countries. Modern boxing in China began in the late 1920s and was originally called "Western Boxing". Someone translated a book "Western Boxing" first. In 1930s, boxing was listed as one of the main courses in the Central Wushu Museum of Nanjing National Government and the National Wushu Institute in old China.

Rules and knowledge

The rules of boxing are unique. In the new rules implemented by the International Amateur Boxing Federation (AIBA) since 1997, the competition adopts a five-turn system, with 2 minutes in each round and a break between rounds 1 minute. Players directly hit the front or side of the opponent's head or waist with their fists. For valid hits, each hit will get 1 point integral. At the end of each round, the superior athletes can get 20 points, and the inferior athletes' scores are relatively reduced; If both sides are equal in strength, they can also get 20 points each. The referee judges the ranking according to the total scores of the two sides in five rounds. If the total score is equal, the athlete who is in the active position or has a good technical style wins. When a player is knocked down, the referee will start a few seconds, from 1 to 10, and indicate the seconds with gestures. If the referee counts to 10, the player still can't stand up, and the opponent is awarded victory. Professional boxing matches generally implement the turn-based system of 10- 12, with a break in the middle of the round 1 minute.

Amateur boxing matches mainly depend on technical scores to decide the outcome. The boxing gloves used are big and thick, and athletes should wear vests, shorts, soft-soled boxing shoes and helmets during the competition. Professional boxing matches mainly rely on storming or knocking down opponents to judge the outcome. If the knocked-down side can't get up and resume the game within 10 seconds, it is judged that the opponent wins. During the competition, the gloves of professional boxers are small and thin, and they are naked without helmets.

Amateur boxing 12, professional boxing 17.

Boxing is unique in that people have different views on boxing. Boxing is a person-to-person competition, so many people have great objections to hitting and being beaten in the competition and the harmful consequences, especially the scene of being knocked down and unable to stand up in professional boxing. Quite a few people think that boxing is a barbaric, cruel and inhuman sport. In particular, the professional boxing competition, which is limited by commercial laws and money, has caused a large number of casualties for the purpose of knocking down opponents, which has cast a shadow on boxing and made many people call for the cancellation of boxing competition. Our country temporarily suspended boxing in 1953 and 1959 to consider the safety of athletes. However, this kind of worry and anxiety is unnecessary. If we have a deep understanding of boxing, people will not doubt and oppose boxing. In boxing matches, injuries mainly occur in professional boxing matches. Even so, in the United States, where professional boxing is very popular, the head injury rate of athletes in professional competitions ranks only ninth among all sports. According to the statistics published by the International Amateur Boxing Federation, the injury rate of amateur boxing ranks only 1 1, which is far lower than skiing, racing, hockey, rugby, football, gymnastics and other sports. This shows that boxing is not the most dangerous sport, and its injury rate is far lower than other sports. Boxing is one of the most complicated competitive sports, because it requires strong explosive power of muscles and perfect techniques and tactics. Facing the ever-changing situation in the competition, athletes are required to accurately understand the basic situation of the opponent in a very short time, at the same time, make corresponding judgments and take corresponding actions quickly, attack and defend with strong physique, skillful technology and changeable tactics, and have the confidence and brave and tenacious will to defeat the opponent. To participate in boxing competition, you must go through long-term systematic training, build a strong body, master excellent techniques, be able to use a variety of tactics flexibly, and have the will quality of tenacious struggle and courage to win. This not only puts high demands on the physical and psychological qualities of boxing fans and boxers, but also has great exercise value for strengthening the physical and mental health of boxing fans and boxers, which is the most obvious and prominent feature of boxing.
