What the quiz is
The boxing quiz has ten questions on the sport's history, its champions and its famous fights. Each question has four answers to choose from.
You answer all ten, then submit. The quiz shows your score and a short explanation for each answer. You can take it again, or copy your score to share with a friend.
What the questions cover
Most of the questions go back to boxing's great heavyweight names. They ask about:
- Muhammad Ali and his fights with Joe Frazier and George Foreman
- champions such as Rocky Marciano, Joe Louis and Manny Pacquiao
- famous moments, like the 1997 Tyson and Holyfield rematch
- a few of the sport's terms, such as a technical knockout
To brush up on the divisions first, read the weight class guide. The articles section has more on recent fights.
Checking an answer
Fight records sometimes get corrected years later. Each explanation gives the fact behind the answer. If one surprises you, a current record book is a good place to check it.
Getting more from it
- Read the explanation under each answer, even the ones you got right.
- Take the quiz again after a break and see which answers stuck.
- Use a wrong answer as a reason to read up on that fighter or fight.
