my husband told me that in the beginning of boxing they fought nude....is that true?

Answer 1

Snap ~
It was the Greeks that held actual Fighting Competitions compared to the Romans who loved when men fought with swords, spears and shields and fought to the death. The Greeks thought there was mor honor in fighting with just ones hands instead of weapontry and let the beaten one live in the hopes he could redeem himself in fighting again.

The Greeks did everything naked back in the day and yes Snap, fighting was one of them.

Answer 2

Around 900 BC a mythical Greek ruler named Theseus allegedly invented a form of boxing in which two men seated face to face, would beat each other with their fists until one of them was killed. In time, the boxers began to fight while standing and wear gloves and wrappings on their arms below the elbows, although otherwise they were competed naked
