Boxing actually had a long history of development, but on the land of the Federation, people's love for boxing really stemmed more from the era of slavery, when civilized folks harbored an affection for barbarism.
This was actually a very strange thing, showcasing the contradictions of humanity to the fullest!
The more one lived in a luxurious abode, enjoying the finest food, the more one yearned for the most primal, the most original ingredients.
Just like gentlemen and ladies living in a civilized society, who took pleasure in watching their kind slaughter each other within a confined area.
In the past, they would have slaves fight to the death to decide who among them could survive, or who could receive better treatment, food, women, money.
And they would bet on these slaves to earn more profits.
Society now doesn't allow them to be so barbaric anymore, and boxing has become their new direction.
