A Look Into The World Of Boxing Boxing has been about since as early as 3000BC, but formal boxing was first documented in the latter part of the 18th century. The ancient Greeks believed that pugilism or fist fighting was a sport in which the Gods of Greece played; this was then implemented into the Olympic Games in 688BC. However back then there were no padded gloves, they merely used leather bound hand straps sometimes filled with metal, which you can imagine led to some fierce and bloody duels some even leading in battles to the death. Regrettably fist fighting started to die away after the fall of The Romans on September 4th, 476AD, when the last Emperor of the Western Roman Empire was deposed. About The London Wasps The London Wasps Rugby Club was formed back in 1867 and they play their home games at Adam’s Park which is sited in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire and holds a capacity of 10,000. Their first home was sited in North London down Finchley Road which was a leased ground, in 1923 they then moved to their first permanent home in Sudbury in the county of Middlesex and finally went on to purchase the ground.
