It always starts with 2 random humans punching each other in the face... Then someone along the way finds better ways of punching and fighting in general. If those work, others learn from him and record the knowledge. That's how (in simple terms) martial arts are born - be it boxing, Karate, MT, WC or whatever.Hmmmm, we are talking about boxing........not 2 random humans punching each other in the face........it is an art or do you think that's a word only reserved for something coming from the East.
I seriously don't see why boxing would have to be exported anywhere to look similar in other parts of the world. Same goes for Judo throws appearing on ancient Greek illustrations or Medieval manuscripts - must have been exported? No, that's just how the human body works and people have come up with that by themselves.
