Boxing is a combat sport in which two people, usually wearing protective gloves, throw punches at each other for a predetermined amount of time in a boxing ring. Amateur boxing is both an Olympic and Commonwealth Games sport and is a common fixture in most international games—it also has its own World Championships. Boxing is overseen by a referee over a series of one- to three-minute intervals called rounds. While humans have fought in hand-to-hand combat since the dawn of human history, the earliest evidence of fist-fighting sporting contests date back to the ancient Middle East in the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE. The earliest evidence of boxing rules date back to Ancient Greece, where boxing was established as an Olympic game in 688 BC. Boxing evolved from 16th- and 18th-century prizefights, largely in Great Britain, to the forerunner of modern boxing in the mid-19th century with the 1867 introduction of the Marquess of Queensberry Rules.
Despite the fact that the Iberian Peninsula is almost completely surrounded by the sea, in the central part of it the influence of water masses on climatic conditions is coming to naught. Mountain ranges, stretching practically along the entire coastline, protect the inner part of the peninsula from external influences. Almost throughout Spain (with the exception of mountain regions), the average monthly temperature is positive. The coldest period is from December to February, the warmest is from June to September. In general, the country is dominated by a subtropical climate of the Mediterranean type, although in its pure form it can be ascertained only on the south-eastern coast of Spain (Andalusia and Extremadura). On all coast of Mediterranean sea soft and short winter and a dry and hot summer. On the east coast of the country in the period from December to February the average minimum air temperature is +5: +8, the average maximum is +12: +17. In the period from June to September the average minimum temperature is +16: +21, the average maximum +25: +30.
