M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour.

He’s got an All-Star list of victories. So they’re gonna think ‘. damn he beat all these guys?’ People are gonna know. He should be in the top 5, top 3 and stuff.” - Mike Tyson on Evander Holyfield (Chasing Tyson [3]) The 2015 documentary “Chasing Tyson” [3] describes the career of 4-time world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield. One of the central themes of this film was how due to his low-key style and humble attitude, the boxing public did not accept Holyfield as a top fighter deserving of the accolade “world heavyweight champion”. However, former Heavyweight Champion and widely accepted all-time great Mike Tyson is quoted above at the end of the film, making the case for Holyfield’s greatness. Although not particularly flashy in or outside the ring, Holyfield’s achievement in the sport of boxing may be measured in an objective way: by the list of quality boxers he has defeated. This argument is reminiscent of Google’s PageRank algorithm [2, 10]. PageRank is an algorithm that assigns to web pages a value, based on the web pages who link to it and their value, that is receiving an incoming link from a high-value website carries more value than a link from a low-level one.

Topics Celebrity Sports Page 2 of 4 Entrepreneur Innovation / Creativity Overcoming Adversity Sports Related Virtual Work-life Balance About George Foreman Olympic gold medal winner, World Heavyweight Champion, and wildly successful entrepreneur behind the George Foreman Grills, George Edward Foreman was born an impoverished youth in Texas who often bullied younger children and didn't like getting up early for school. By age 15, he had traveled down a hard road, becoming a mugger and brawler on the hard streets of Houston’s 5th ward. Fortunately for him, he was saved by Lyndon Johnson's Job Corps program, which helped troubled kids and he traveled to California, where he met Job Corps counselor and boxing coach Doc Broaddus, who encouraged Foreman to become a fighter. Once he began to train at the gym, Foreman rapidly established an impressive amateur record. The culmination of his amateur boxing career came at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, where he won a gold medal in his 25th amateur fight. Brandishing an American flag after his win, he later said "I wanted everyone in the world to know I was an American and proud of the opportunity that I was given to do what I had done." In 1969, Foreman turned professional. Within two years, he was ranked the No. 1 challenger by the WBA and WBC and by 1972, he amassed an impressive record of 37 wins (most by knockout) and no losses. Foreman got his shot at the world heavyweight championship when he was scheduled to fight Joe Frazier in Kingston, Jamaica in 1973.
