Boxing, or pugilism, was a sport in which two participants of similar weight fight each other with their fists. Victory was achieved if the opponent is knocked down and unable to get up before the referee counts to ten (knockout) or if the opponent was deemed too injured to continue (technical knockout). If there is no stoppage of the fight before an agreed number of rounds, a winner is determined either by the referee or judges' judgement.
Benny Russell, Willie Hawkins and Cassie were fans of boxing. While Hawkins participated in the sport, Russell and Cassie would listen to matches on the radio. Cassie hoped that one day there would be a chance for females to take up boxing. (DS9 novelization: Far Beyond the Stars)
In 2267, Lieutenant Peterson was de-throned as the boxing champion of the USS Enterprise by the young Grang of the Wolf clan. (TOS novel: Mission to Horatius)
In 2369, Q challenged Benjamin Sisko to a boxing match after Sisko demanded that the entity return the Deep Space 9 residents who had disappeared. Q began hitting an unimpressed Sisko, who threw a punch of his own, knocking Q to the ground. (DS9 episode: "Q-Less")

Boxing makes an appearance in Fallout 1 and Fallout 2. In Fallout 1, you could take some bets in Junktown, for the champion Saul. In Fallout 2, entering the Jungle Gym of New Reno, you get to do some boxing against 4 characters, Joqq, Pete McKneely, Evan Holyfeld, and The Masticator. After defeating these idiots, you gain the Prizefighter perk and some fame.
The Masticator can bite your Ear off, and then you will find it in your inventory, as an unique item, named Player's ear. This event reduces your charisma by 1 point, so be careful. See The Masticator "Odd Habits" for more information
Boxing is hosted by Stuart and will ask you for 50% of your pay from boxing. Better than nothing. Upon entering the ring, you are given your own Boxing Gloves, but under the Shark Club, you can find some Plated Boxing Gloves, allowing for some cheating to begin.

Dwarven Boxing (A.K.A. Brawling) is a mini-game introduced in Eye of the North. It takes place through a series of quests given by Kilroy Stonekin in Gunnar's Hold which allows you to fight a variety of different foes from all over Tyria, and explore Fronis Irontoe's Lair. If you don't already have one, Kilroy will give you a pair of Brass Knuckles that must be equipped before any brawling can be done.

To gain maximum advantage use this weapon customized, inscribed with a Brawn over Brains inscription, and upgraded with a Dagger Handle of Shelter or Defense, and either a Furious, Sundering, or Vampiric Dagger Tang.
Consider using Brawler's Insignias on an extra set of armor you can wear to obtain maximum defense against attacks while Brawling.
Enemies give large amounts of experience when killed. Bring one Insight Scroll of choice to use while completing Fronis's Lair. The Dungeon, when played on hard mode, will take a little less than 10 minutes, ideal for Adventurer's, Hero's, and Lightbringer scrolls. Alternatively, there will always be an enemy within reach, so a Berserker's or Rampager's scroll can easily last till the end of the dungeon.
In order to max out the XP garnered from this run (42,596XP including quest reward), one needs at least a 250% XP insight scroll. So all three (Scroll of Slayer's Insight, Scroll of Berserker's Insight, Scroll of the Lightbringer) will yield the maximum XP possible per run.
