Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants fight using their fists, typically with gloves. Its origins date back to ancient civilizations, including Egypt and Greece, where boxing was part of athletic competitions and festivals. Modern boxing developed in England during the 17th–18th centuries with codified rules, leading to the Marquess of Queensberry Rules in 1867, which standardized gloves, rounds, and fouls. Today, boxing is a global sport practiced professionally and recreationally, including in the Olympics.
