Boxing has a long history. It originated at the beginning of mankind. Humanity invented it for survival and competition. Initially, it was a means of protecting people's lives and property. Records show that it has a history of more than 5000 years. In the Encyclopedia Britannica, there is a record that "in the 40th century BC, relics of boxing were discovered in the Euphrates and Tigris River Basin." The ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphs to record the protective gear "leather bandage" used for boxing. Later, around the 17th century BC, boxing spread to ancient Greece through the Mediterranean Island of Creeks. On a pair of magnetic bottles unearthed on the coast of the Aegean Sea in the 5th century BC, there are boxing patterns of two people attacking and attacking each other. In Greek mythology, it is said that Prince Sesias of Athens (1000 BC) was familiar with boxing and once played this kind of boxing. During archaeological excavations in Mesopotamia, traces of boxing activities before 1700 were also discovered.

Since the ancient Roman Emperor Theodres banned boxing, the boxing world has been almost lonely for more than four centuries. The main reason is that people are unforgettable about the rough influence of ancient Roman boxing; on the other hand, horse riding and sword fighting were popular in various parts of Europe, and horse technology suppressed the development of boxing. Knight sports belong to the ruling class and aristocracy, and must be Christians. Boxing, as a self-defense technique and entertainment activity, is still popular among the people, but it is not possible to compete openly.

In the 8th century AD, when the Ottoman Great came to power, the court formulated a new system: "fighting trials." That is, when a difficult case is encountered during the trial, the two parties are ordered to duel, and the winner wins the case. If it was a lawsuit between aristocrats, the aristocratic custom would be to ride horses and wear protective armor for sword fights; while in lawsuits between civilians, boxing would be used to decide the outcome. Since then, boxing has become more widely spread among ordinary people.

During 1200 AD, the missionary St. Benadine saw the tragedy of many young people dying in sword battles at that time and tried to promote boxing instead of sword battles. He abolished the barbaric method of boxing in ancient Rome and advocated bare-handed boxing, making it a sports activity based on the principle of physical exercise. San Bena opened a boxing training school in Sina, Italy, and personally served as a coach, presided over boxing matches and performed referee work. In an emergency during the race where danger may occur, he will promptly order the game to be stopped to prevent unnecessary injuries. This improved boxing has gradually become popular among young people. Saint-Bena has always been passionate about boxing throughout his life, making the resurgence of boxing, which has been interrupted for centuries, an indelible milestone in the history of boxing.

In the 16th century, boxing crossed the Strait of Toba and spread to Britain. At the end of the 17th century AD, boxing was revived in England. In the early 18th century AD, prize-winning boxing competitions appeared in England. In 1719, the first British boxing champion, James Figg (1695-1734), known as the ancestor of modern boxing, was born and held the championship for 11 years. He was known as the "Invincible General". Figg's boxing was an unprotected, unarmed "life and death" type of fighting. He founded the world's earliest boxing school and became the cradle of British boxers.

After Figg's death, his favorite student, John Broughton (1704-1789), inherited his boxing career. In order to reduce injuries in boxing, he organized boxing clubs. In order to make boxing more sportsmanship, on August 16, 1743, he introduced new and the world's earliest professional boxing competition rules, named them the "Broughton Rule." The rules mainly stipulate that no one is allowed to hit people who have fallen to the ground and no one is allowed to hit any part below the waist. At the same time, Broughton invented the first soft leather gloves to protect facial skin. Later, Broughton also built a large arena in London as a center for teaching boxing and organizing boxing matches. Because Broughton proposed a new direction for boxing and played an important role in the healthy development of boxing, future generations called him the "father of boxing."
