(Note the Boxing physical skill may not be selected if Boxing is taken as HtH form)
The origins of Boxing date back to ancient Grecce, however it didn't become truly popular until modern times, In America, boxing became famous in the early 1900's, when bare-knuckle brawlers would step into the ring and fight until only one man still stood. Boxing evolved into an incredibly popular professional sport, with multimillion-dollar purses to be won for big pay-per-view televised bouts.

Boxer's incredible training programs hone their reflexes and punching power until they become fighting machines. The incredible pounding boxers withstand during training and bouts also makes them one of the toughest bunch of fighters around.
