The London Prize Ring Rules were a list of boxing rules promulgated in 1838 and revised in 1853.[1] These rules were based on those drafted by England's Jack Broughton in 1743 (known as the Broughton Rules) and governed the conduct of prizefighting/bare-knuckle boxing for over 100 years. They "introduced measures that remain in effect for professional boxing to this day, such as outlawing butting, gouging, scratching, kicking, hitting a man while down, holding the ropes, and using resin, stones or hard objects in the hands, and biting."[2] They were later superseded by the Marquess of Queensberry Rules, which were the origin of the modern sport of boxing.
