BOXING

Boxing is a combat sport in which two people, usually wearing protective gloves, throw punches at each other for a predetermined amount of time in a boxing ring.

Boxing is among the oldest sports; its original form was fist fighting. In antiquity, there were no round limits, and the athletes fought until one of them lost consciousness or acknowledged defeat.

Fist fighting was included in the program of the Olympic Games from about 688 BC in ancient Greece.

In the 4th century BC, the prototypes of modern boxing gloves appeared in the form of leather bands tied round the hands for protection. During the Roman Empire, in the 2nd century BC, gloves were strengthened with iron and lead inserts.

In 1681, a London newspaper published the announcement of the fight tournament.

In 1743, John “Jack” Broughton introduced the first boxing rules (Broughton’s Rules). At this time, the combat rules appeared, which required gloves and ring, and provided the formulas for fighting.

In 1747, A Treatise Upon the Useful Science of Defense was published, the world's first book on boxing, authored by captain John Godfrey.

In 1845, thanks to the Frenchman Ernesto Lustallo, boxing appeared in France.

In 1867, the English aristocrat Marquess of Queensberry published the more humane rules of boxing in gloves, which contained a number of restrictions.

In 1881, the first amateur boxing association was established in England.

In 1888, boxing was officially recognized in North America.

In 1898, Ernesto Lustallo organized the first boxing match in St. Petersburg.

In 1904, boxing was first included in the program of the 3rd Olympic Games.

At the 1904 Olympic Games, the demonstrations of female boxers were held. Their fights were more like entertainment shows. Boxing among women at this stage had not received further development.

In 1920, at the 6th Olympic Games in Antwerp, 114 athletes from 11 countries took part in boxing competitions. Since then, boxing remains one of the most interesting sports at the Olympics.

In 1920, the International Amateur Boxing Federation (Fédération Internationale de Boxe Amateur, FIBA) was established.

In the 1990s, AIBA recognized female boxing, which was previously banned.

In 1911, the first article about boxing competitions that took place in Grodno was published in Sokol magazine.

In 1928, at the initiative of V. Goldberg, the first sections of boxing appeared in Borisov. Vladimir Lebedev was among the first trainees. He later became one of the founders of boxing in Belarus and absolute champion of Belarus in 1930.

In 1929, the first section of boxing was opened in Minsk at the Belarusian State Technical School of Physical Culture.

In 1933, the Second USSR Boxing Championship was held in Minsk. At this time, courses for boxing coaches were organized. The methodological manual on weightlifting was published, for which Vladimir Lebedev wrote a chapter on boxing.

In 1949, Vladimir Kogan (coach Mikhail Panasyuk) became the first champion of the USSR in the history of Belarusian boxing.

In 1961, eight Belarusian athletes reached the final of the USSR championship. Five of them won medals: Alexander Zasukhin, gold; Willy Ilchenko and Anatoly Ivanov (coach Vladimir Kogan), silver; V. Kozlovsky and Gennady Kaminsky (coach Leonid Axelrod), bronze.

In the 1960s and 1970s, All-Union competitions in memory of Viktor Usov and Minsk International Tournament were held, which contributed to the growth of Belarusian boxers. New names appeared not only among the athletes, but also among the coaches who trained high-class boxers: Stanislav Gursky, Peter Himakov, Anatoly Grishuk, Vladimir Botvinnik, etc.
