Amateur fights consist of three rounds while professional fights can range from four to 15 rounds. Championship fights are normally 12 rounds. Because there is no true governing body, the rules vary greatly, but most countries abide by professional boxing rules.

In all boxing, however, winners are declared either by decision of judges (who keep points on a scorecard during the fight), by a referee or by both. A participant can win in a knockout, in which one rival is punched and cannot get up within 10 seconds, but a doctor or referee can declare the boxer injured or defenceless even if there is no knockdown. A tied or even match is ruled a draw.

The boxing ring is square, 12 to 20 ft (3.7 to 6.1 m) on each side and enclosed by three or four ropes. Since 1892, players have worn leather gloves with only a thumb fingerhole as a general practice. These gloves weigh from 8 oz (227 g) for amateurs down to 6 oz (170 g) for professionals.

The ancient Greeks believed fist fighting was one of the games played by the gods on Olympus. As such, boxing originated when a person lifted a fist against another in play and became part of the Olympic Games in 688 BC. The sport began to thrive on a wide scale in Roman Times but later diminished after the fall of Rome. 

Boxing was revived in the 18th century during the Industrial Revolution. Prizefights attracted participants and spectators from the working class. The organisation was minimal at first and resembled street fighting more than boxing.

The second heavyweight champion, Jack Broughton of England, drew his own set of rules, which were recognized in 1743. They outlawed some aspects that the sport had acquired, such as hitting below the belt. Instead of a ring of spectators, Broughton insisted upon a squared-off area.

In 1866, the Marquess of Queensberry gave his support to a new set of rules, which were named in his honour. These rules limited the number of three-minute rounds, eliminated gouging and wrestling, and made the use of gloves mandatory.
