Informal boxing match between Nationwide champion Dritov Motilige and a random homeless person.

Boxing is a competitive combat sport, in which participants take turns attempting to incapacitate their opponent by shoving a person sized box over their head. The sport dates back to 1837 when the creator of boxes, Cornelius Darragh Greene-Boxherty, was found to have been murdered in his lab by being shoved head first into a box lined with razor blades. For some reason the gruesome acts surrounding his death became popular as a pub-sport^[1], minus the blades, and over time caught on as a normal sport. Later in 1919, the sport was officially recognized as an Olympic sport.
