This engraving captures the excitement and energy of the Amateur Boxing Championships held at the Central Hall in Holborn, London, in December 1890. The series of scenes depicted in this print offer a glimpse into the historical event that took place over 21 days, attracting hundreds of spectators and participants from across the country. The first scene shows the boxers entering the ring, their determined expressions and focused gaze reflecting their preparation and dedication to the sport. The second scene illustrates the intense and physical nature of the boxing match, with the boxers exchanging blows and demonstrating their strength and agility. The third scene captures the moment of triumph, as the victorious boxer raises his arms in victory, basking in the applause and admiration of the crowd. The Amateur Boxing Championships of 1890 were an important moment in the history of the sport, as they marked the beginning of a new era in amateur boxing. The event was organized by the Amateur Athletic Club, which aimed to promote physical fitness and healthy competition among young men. The success of the championships led to the establishment of the Amateur Boxing Association in 1892, which continues to govern and promote amateur boxing in the UK to this day. This engraving provides a fascinating insight into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of amateur boxing in the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the passion and dedication that has always been a part of this noble and challenging sport, and a testament to the enduring appeal of competitive athleticism.
