Although boxing was common in many parts of the world, and people participated in it in huge numbers, the sport took an ugly turn. This sport became a mecca of bets and deals.

As much as the participants liked fighting bare-knuckled, a ban was put on them as it was becoming too harmful and dangerous.

As of lately, boxing has lost some of its charms, and it has significantly lost many of its participants and enthusiasts. Professor B.
