	Boxing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boxing, nicknamed the "sweet science" and also called pugilism or prizefighting, is a sport where two participants of similar weight attack each other with their fists in a series of one to three-minute intervals called "rounds".
		Earliest evidence suggests that boxing was prevalent in North Africa during 4000 BC and the Mediterranean in 1500 BC.
		The World Boxing Association even stripped a fighter of his championship in 1983 because the fight had been a 15-round bout, shortly after the rule was changed to 12 rounds.

	The Historiography of American Sport \| Steven A. Riess \| OAH Magazine of History
		The scholarship on other sports is far less thorough, although there has been some very good work done on boxing, a sport that was generally illegal in the nineteenth century, and only widely permitted since the 1920s.
		Boxing's position as a nexus between urban machine politics and organized crime is analyzed in Riess's City Games which also gives considerable attention to the social origins of boxers, the composition of crowds, and the arenas where major bouts were fought between 1870 and 1960.
		The history of boxing since the 1920s is sketched out in Jeffrey Sammons's Beyond the Ring: The Role of Boxing in American Society, a study that is very critical of prize fighting.

		Born in 1905 during the days of the Kaiser, he went hungry during the "Turniptop Winter" of World War I. But he took up professional boxing in the 1920s and at the start of next decade he became world heavyweight champion.
		By the time of his first fight with Louis at the Yankee Stadium in New York six years later, Schmeling was considered past his best and the Nazis tried to have the fight called off.
		The episode only came to light in 1989, when one of the sons invited Schmeling to Las Vegas to thank him for saving his life.
