Boxing is one of most popular sports today in North America and continues to grow in popularity. Most countries of the world are familiar with boxing, with many of these countries having a multitude of boxing organizations within its borders.

The sport of boxing has been around for many more years than most people realize it has.

Historians have found records that indicate that boxing, surely known by another name in ancient times, was fought with much more brutality than it is today.
