Boxing rounds have been three minutes long since the Marquis of Queensbury rules took effect in 1892. By the thirties, I think they were already down to fifteen rounds per fight.

Yes, the rounds were 3 min, but some of the fights lasted 50 rounds or more.

Three minutes per round, as I understand it.

Fifteen three-minute rounds for a title fight.

Same. Unless you were a Circus Boxer. Then you could be challenged all night.
