SSC Selection Post 2019 PYQ — Question 45

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Boxing.

The 'Queensberry Rules' are associated with the sport of boxing. Introduced in 1867 by John Graham Chambers and endorsed by the Marquess of Queensberry, these rules laid the foundation for modern boxing. They replaced bare-knuckle fighting with gloves and introduced timed rounds, weight divisions, and a ten-second count for knockouts. The Queensberry Rules helped regulate the sport, making it more structured and less brutal. Today, they remain the basis of professional boxing regulations worldwide, marking a significant shift from older, more violent forms of the sport.
