A Brief Account Of Boxing Boxing has been about since as early as 3000BC, but formal boxing was first documented in the late 1700’s. The ancient Greeks believed that pugilism or fist fighting was a past-time that the Greek Gods took part in; this was then incorporated into the Olympic Games in 688BC. The only drawback in these early times were that competitors didn’t have any padded gloves, they simply used leather bound hand coverings sometimes fixed in with metal, which you can picture led to some violent and bloody duels some even resulting in battles to the death. Sadly fist fighting started to die away after the fall of The Roman Empire on September 4th, 476AD, when the last Ruler of the Western Roman Empire was removed from power. The London Wasps Chronicles The London Wasps Rugby Club was established back in 1867 and they play their home games at Adam’s Park which is situated in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire and boasts a capacity of 10,000. Their first home was situated in North London down Finchley Road which was a rented property, in 1923 they then moved to their first permanent home in Sudbury in the county of Middlesex and eventually went on to buy the ground.
