18th century women's boxing
check out the great trash talking
Quote:
"CHALLENGE. - I, Elizabeth Wilkinson, of Clerkenwell, having had some words with Hannah Hyfield, and requiring satisfaction, do invite her to meet me upon the stage, and box me for three guineas; each woman holding half-a-crown in each hand, and the first woman that drops the money to lose the battle.
ANSWER. - I, Hannah Hyfield, of Newgate Market, hearing of the resoluteness of Elizabeth Wilkinson, will not fail, 'God willing', to give her more blows than words, desiring home blows, and from her no favour: she may expect a good thumping!"

"Martin Nogue documented in 1728 in his Voyages et Avantures [EN 1] of seeing women and girls fighting the same as the men, including being stripped from the waist up..."

Their husbands should have beaten them for bringing such attention to themselves.

According to the aricle their husbands cornered them during the fights. 19th century was when they were embarrassed by them fighting.
