Development of women's boxing
In fact, women's boxing once appeared on the stage of the Olympic Games, but it can be traced back to the third Olympic Games held in St. Louis in 1904. At that time, boxing and freestyle wrestling became Olympic events for the first time, and women's boxing made its debut on the international stage as a performance event, attracting worldwide attention. However, since then, the controversy about women's boxing has never stopped. Although the Olympic Games began to strive for equality between men and women in the mid-20th century, women's boxing was still opposed by most people. However, when taekwondo, judo, wrestling and other fighting events have set up women's events, women's boxing still lingers outside the gate of the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee even asked the International Amateur Boxing Federation to increase the number of women's boxing members to 20 1 before accepting them into the Olympic family.
