Anyone familiar with boxing knows that there is much more to this celebrated artform than simply throwing punches. Ranked
the most challenging sport of all by broadcaster ESPN, a panel of experts concluded that a match pushes any athlete to the
absolute limit.
For this reason, it's not hard to see why matches remain among the biggest sporting spectacles across the world. Want to

One of the world's oldest sports, boxing is a beautiful demonstration of modern athleticism. Evolving from pugilist roots
in Ancient Greece, today's modern bruiser must have the endurance of a marathon runner, the strength of a weightlifter and
the grace and agility of a ballet dancer. Displaying an almost unbeatable combination of skills, Heavyweight Champion Cassius
Clay, better known as Mohammad Ali, was said to "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee".
Although Ali has long since retired from the ring, recent years have still seen the sport produce some of the modern era's
most famous athletes, from Americans Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather to British heroes Ricky Hatton and David Haye. With both
amateur and professional bouts taking place week in week out, Britain has a long tradition of producing famous boxers and
putting on huge scale events. Find out more about this year's upcoming events by searching for boxing tickets on StubHub UK.
