Wherever there is a beautiful woman there are always men fighting in some way to win her. .... In the Aboriginal World the same happens, however in a different way. Men fight by boxing each other, and whoever is the last standing wins.
Now, the Olympic Sport of Boxing is believed by many Aboriginals to have commenced many generations ago when their Ancestors were hunting the giant Kangaroos by spearing them. After many months the Kangaroos started to fight back by standing on their large hind legs and fighting their hinters in a boxing-like style with their smaller front legs.
After seeing this, the tribal elders decided the way for the younger men to win their wives was to fight like the Kangaroo, hence the sport of Boxing began.
In this painting can be seen at the top left the Aboriginal hunter about to spear a Kangaroo, with one of the tribal elders holding 2 warriors apart who are about to box. In the middle of the painting are two men in the midst of a boxing match with the white U-shapes on the outside of the boxing ring symbolizing 4 women watching the fight.
