The Queensberry Rules are a set of guidelines for boxing that were established in 1867. Named after the Marquess of Queensberry, these rules aimed to create a more organized and safer environment for the sport. They introduced the use of gloves, defined the duration of rounds, and established weight classes, which helped to standardize boxing matches. Under the Queensberry Rules, fighters are required to follow specific conduct during a match, such as not hitting below the belt and allowing a fighter to recover after being knocked down. These rules have significantly influenced modern boxing and are still in use today.
