Being active is an important part of life, and it keeps people healthier and happier. These days, there are numerous sports to choose from. Some you have probably heard of, but others you haven't. One sport that doesn't get as much attention as it used to is boxing. It is a tough sport and not for everyone because it involves fighting. It is a battle unlike anything else in sports.
活動身體是人生很重要的一部份，它能使人們活得更健康、更快樂。近來有各式各樣的運動可供人們選擇。您可能已經聽說過某些運動了，但還有一些您可能還不熟悉。其中一種近來比較不受到注意的運動就是拳擊了。它是一項並非人人都適合參與的艱難運動，因為當中牽涉到格鬥的技巧。有別於任何其他的運動，拳擊是一場戰鬥。
Boxing has been around for ages, but the sport took a big turn in the late 1800s. It went from bare-knuckle fights to gloved events. That was also when James L. Sullivan became a household name and a boxing hero. He was the first US sports millionaire and won almost every match in his entire career. Moving ahead in time, Joe Louis is a boxing legend still commonly talked about today. In a time of segregation, Louis was loved by both black and white fans. He helped fight against the color barrier and won the heavyweight title in 1937. He holds the record for successfully defending the title 25 times.
拳擊已行之有年，但在十九世紀末期則有了重大的轉變。它從赤手空拳的戰鬥轉變成需要戴著拳擊手套的賽事。詹姆斯‧蘇利文也在這段期間成為一位家喻戶曉的拳擊英雄。他是美國體壇中第一位百萬富翁，而且在其一生的拳擊生涯中，他幾乎每戰必勝。而在早年，喬‧路易斯也是一位至今仍為人津津樂道的拳界傳奇。在種族隔離期間，無論白人或黑人粉絲，都很喜歡喬‧路易斯。他幫忙對抗種族間的隔閡，並在1937年贏得重量級拳擊手的頭銜。他衛冕成功二十五次，至今仍保持這項紀錄。
