The main goal of this work is to investigate the history and development and the arrival of boxing in Croatia and in Osijek. This work will point out the importance of understanding the sport with knowledge of the history and development of boxing in a regional environment. The importance of motor skills and qualities that we need for success in boxing will also be discussed. Records have been found of "fist fighting" as far back as 3000 BC. In the beginning, fist fighting was a very cruel discipline in which individuals tried their skills, and it is precisely for this reason that we consider boxing as a noble skill, because it managed to improve from one such cruel skill and make it an organized sport with rules. Also the development and improvement of boxing as a sport will be explained in a later part of the work. Each period that was specific to boxing and its development in a region or the world will be explained in the text in order to better understand the steps that were necessary for its development and bringing it to the position it is in today. Boxing belongs to the category of polystructural acyclic sports, and precisely because of its specificities and difficulty, it has been declared as one of the most difficult sports in the world. Apart from the very structure and specificity of the sport, which is very demanding and difficult, we can also say the same about the development of boxing in Osijek. The period from 1920 to 2010 will be covered and will contain all the necessary information that will help in better understanding the development of boxing as a sport in Osijek. In addition to Osijek, some other larger Croatian cities will also be mentioned, which are also of great importance for Croatian boxing, and significant Croatian fighters who have greatly contributed to creating a positive image in this sport and made it acceptable to society will be mentioned.
