Wow you came up with something different? XD Sorry, I had to poke at you. From quickly glancing over random RPs, the same char name seems to pop up a lot...

As for boxing, I don't believe the sport itself was formed back then, but hand-to-hand combat was definitely present. Street brawlers, etc have pretty much always existed in some shape or form. The idea of two men wearing nothing but silk boxers fighting over a belt and a purse... well that came later... and probably was originated by a gay man... but uh, thats another subject. lol!
