Boxing is an amazing sport with millions of fans from around the world following its events and thousands practicing it to achieve their goal of becoming a champion.
The use of training equipment similar to a punching bag can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where soldiers and fighters used various forms of equipment to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
Headgear is an important piece of protective gear in all sports, especially combat sports. There are different categories of headgear each proving a certain level of protection.
Although hand wraps add an extra layer of support and padding to trainees' hands and knuckle, which is good, the main objective of them is not to protect or pad you knuckle; instead, they are primarily used to provide a solid rock-like fist, by preventing fingers as well as knuckles sliding or breaking on each other while punching or blocking.
In Ancient Greece, it was common practice to tie strips of leather round the hands for protection. By 688 BC, Boxing was already an Olympic sport.
