About Boxing

Hello my name is Nathaniel and this is my first attempt at blogging. Today I am going to tell you about boxing. My interest in boxing began when I was 14. Interest and love in this sport, gave me courage to train boxing and passion for this sport grows once you experience the hard work that boxers have to do in order to succeed.

What is Boxing?

Boxing is a sport which involves two athletes (supervised by a referee)who fight each other using only their gloved hands.
 In the early days, when boxing first appeared (688BC) in the Olympic games, it was considered a fighting game which was played by the Gods on Olympus.
Boxing, then evolved, mostly in Great Britain and later in the United States. Nowadays boxing has become a popular sport globally. Also it has become very intense as a sport.
