Two terracotta figurines of African boxers, 2nd-1st BCE.
Boxers fought professionally, and if successful, could win great prestige and high prize money. Like modern boxing, fighters could only use their fists. However, the fight had no time limit and continued until one of the boxers was knocked out or capitulated. GR 1852.4-1.1,2 (Terracotta)
