There\u2019s an incredibly rich history of boxing across British soil. This dates all the way back to the 1600s, when the first documented bare-knuckle fights are believed to have taken place there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prize-fighting surfaced during the early 16th\ncentury and continued to develop throughout the eras, eventually ditching the\nbrutal ungloved and ungoverned set-up to undertake safer sporting methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the bare-knuckle times, through to Jack\nBroughton\u2019s Rules, the London Prize Fighting Rules and later the Marquess of\nQueensberry rules, boxing in Britain has progressed with the times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the centuries of development there\nhave been many esteemed fighters to rise to the pinnacle in the UK. Here, we look\nback and rank the 10 greatest British fighters throughout history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
