Boxing became an Olympic sport in 688 BC and is still popular today. The boxer uses his or her fists to punch the opponent’s head and body with the aim to knock the opponent out. Boxing is popular worldwide as a spectator sport and generates millions of US dollars through ticket revenue, merchandise, TV rights and pay-per-view packages of important boxing matches. Some people view boxing as archaic and an unnecessary display of violence while its supporters emphasize its self-expression and health benefits. Boxing is a good way to keep fit, but there is much speculation about the possible injuries, particularly to the brain, that can be incurred during boxing matches. Such speculation has resulted in tighter regulations over the safety of the boxers. Wrestling is an ancient sport and often appeared as the main event in the earliest Olympic Games. Wrestling exists in many different styles but only two styles feature in the Olympics, namely freestyle and Greco-Roman. Greco-Roman wrestling allows the use of only the participants’ upper bodies; however, freestyle allows the use of legs.
