In ancient Greece, boxing was a popular and highly regarded sport, particularly during the Olympic Games. Competitors, called "pugilists," fought without gloves, wrapping their hands in leather straps called "himantes." Matches could end with a knockout or when one fighter conceded, and bouts often took place in a sand-covered arena. Boxing emphasized both physical skill and mental strategy, reflecting the Greeks' appreciation for athleticism and competition.
