Boxing is a sport that has existed in some form or another since the beginning of mankind as one-on-one combat seems to be in our blood. Many people consider it dangerous and try to have it banned. While it is dangerous, it's better to have the bouts fought in a controlled environment, with the proper protection, referee and doctors at ringside, while being under the umbrella of the government and sanctioning bodies. It's one of the most popular Olympic sports and is enjoyed throughout the world by men and women. It's relatively inexpensive to box as all you need are gloves, a mouthpiece, shoes, trunks and a groin protector, but you should protect yourself in all training sessions with the proper headgear. There are many training aids and accessories available to boxers, which will push cost up.
