Copyright © Kath Woodward 2014. You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 7 Transforming the Fight Game This chapter looks at change and explores the extent to which boxing might contribute to change as well as reflecting and responding to shifts in social relations and cultural worlds beyond the sport. Sport presents a distinctive social world in many respects: one that is marked by competitive embodied practices and an exaggeration of market forces and reward by outcomes, as well as being an integral part of globalized economies and culture. Boxing is also particular within globalized sport through its mix of traditional affiliations, practices, oppressions and resistances as well as its associations with hegemonic masculinity. Although this sport is strongly competitive and based on the success/ failure, winning/losing binaries, it has long been a site targeted by systems of governance as a space for the promotion of good citizenship and social inclusion and cohesion through wider participation in its practices. Boxing has a legacy of recruiting disadvantaged and excluded people, especially young men who might otherwise engage in illegitimate and less-acceptable forms of aggression and deviance, which accounts for the periodic resurgence of interest in boxing as a means of containing disaffected young men.
