Boxing and fist-fighting, a brief history

Fist-fighting competitions date thousands of years back, but modern boxing first emerged in England around the late 1600s. These boxing matches were bare-knuckle fights also known as prizefighting, and quite different from boxing as we know it today. The rules of prizefighting were nothing like the rules of modern boxing. In fact, there weren’t many rules at all! Which meant that these matches were often bloody and very chaotic. Fighters were allowed to do all kinds of things that are not at all permitted in the modern boxing ring, such as biting each other, poking each other in the eyes, and headbutting. Sometimes boxers would agree not to do any scratching or eye-gouging, such as in the match between the famous female fist-fighter Elizabeth Wilkinson against Hannah Hyfield. To ensure that both parties stuck to this agreement, each fighter clutched coins in their hands during the fight, meaning that they had to keep their fists clenched in order not to drop their money.

In 1743, the boxing champion Jack Broughton was the first to introduce a written set of boxing rules. These rules were meant to protect boxers, since it wasn’t all that uncommon for people to be killed in bare-knuckle bouts. However, it wasn’t until the introduction of the 1838 and 1853 London Prize Ring Rules that underhand moves like headbutts, eye-gouging, biting, kicks, and using stones to clobber opponents were properly banned from the boxing ring. The further addition of the Marquess of Queensberry Rules in 1867 set additional rules for the duration of rounds and the size of the ring. The Queensberry Rules also specify that boxers must wear boxing gloves, and introduced the ten-second KO countdown and the ability to give up a match by throwing in the towel. It is this set of rules that generally governs modern boxing.
