Best Answer

The Chinese group which rebeled against foreign rule called themselves the Righteous and Harmonious Fists. Boxer was a name given to them by the foreigners. I can only speculate that it was because of the association of boxers and fists, and done in the interests of brevity. It was a long name to say when translated to the languages of China's eleven foreign occupiers, except perhaps to the Japanese.
