We can look for historical evidence of boxing and it can lead us all the way back to the part of ancient stories of the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome wherein it was popularly played; it was factual that around 4,000 B.C, North Africa was already embracing this sport. Boxing is also knows as pugilism or the sweet science but way back then, its roots depict of fights having crude rules where as boxers often indulged into fatal boxing rounds having no gloves and just with leather taped on to their bare hands. It was believed that during those times, the fighters were usually offenders and slaves playing to win and gain their independence. Nevertheless, there were also strong indications that free men also used to fight in competitions for the spirit of sport. Maybe there had been some sort of issues and some growing distraction in public life that Augutus and later on in 500 A.D, Theodoric banned the sport.
