BoxRec

For academic purposes, we will be looking at deaths and injuries that ended careers, from 1889 onwards. This is the year in which the last bare knuckle contest for a lineal championship was done, so therefore boxing as we know it today starts at this point and time; even though the Marquis of Queensbury rules were established in 1865. It must be said that this isn't (by far) a complete list, but hopefully over time one will be established.
