Boxing

As a sport boxing found its acceptance by the ancient Greeks as an Olympic game as early as 688 BC.  Boxing evolved from 16th and 18th century prizefights largely in Great Britain, to the forerunner of modern boxing in the mid 19th century, again initially in Great Britain.  In 2004, ESPN ranked boxing as the most difficult sport in the world.  A&R has an amazing array of historical boxing items autographed by the likes of Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and many more!
