No, but the 9'th Marquess of Queensbury publicly endorsed the code, so it was adopted. John Graham Chambers wrote them in 1865The current one's.
Did James"Buster"Douglas make a brief come back to boxing in the late 90's?
Yeah the current ones!Thanks to him you still can't break the law if you break someones nose, so long as the guy hits you first.
It's a great set of rules.Especially if you run into a guy that can't punch worth a damn.
God bless him
Who would win between Michael Spinks and Bob Foster in a 15 rounder at 175?
yep.Did Jack Dempsey ever kill man boxing or just in life in general.?
Stuka is right. Chambers wrote them.The boxing code was written by John Graham Chambers in 1865 and published in 1867 as "the Queensberry rules for the sport of boxing". This code of rules superseded the Revised London Prize Ring rules (1853), which had themselves replaced the original London Prize Ring rules (1743) of Jack Broughton.
