How do boxers gain so much weight from the time they weigh in to the time they fight?
Boxers purge them selves of all excess weight before a fight i.e. water and waste weight. They will usually start a diet and regime of coffee (laxative) while spending hours not only working out but also sitting fully clothed or in a rubber suit in a sauna to rid themselves of all the water in there system. After making weight they will slowly rehydrate there body as well as eat and that is why you often see a drastic weight gain from weigh in to fight night. They buff up, that way, they become heavier.

There's evidence that Boxing existed long ago, circa 1500-3000 B.C but it was not called "boxing" and did not have a name.
It wasnt until the 16th century England that it was revitalised and given the name "boxing" and also "bare knuckle boxing" and "prizefighter" by an English bare knuckle boxer named John Chambers.Then the English gave it rules (those rules still stand today) Those rules are "The Marquess of Queensbury rules" and were also created there. So the English get the credit for inventing "Modern Boxing" that we all know today.
The first ever documented boxing match was in 16th century in England.
Boxing was actually an ancient game created by the Greeks. It was first invented in the Olympic Games. Boxing was used as a training for soldiers in war. They competed in the games, so they could be in shape for their battles in war.
Boxing has obviously evolved a great deal since the Olympic games, and is now a sport many fans enjoy from all across the globe!

Who is the most famous white boxer?
Rocky Marciano
Jack Dempsey
Jack Dempsey, though a battler whom many feared to face, did lose to Gene Tunney. In 49 fights, Marciano was never beaten, though he did win a controversial split-decision against another white boxer named Roland La Starza. But there were also a number of excellent white pugilists in other weight divisions. Gene Fullmer and Carman Basilio in the welterweight/middleweight ranks were worthy champions in the 1950's. Jake LaMotta has become far more famous than he was during his fighting career, mainly from the release of the movie Raging Bull. But man-for-man, the list of famous black boxers far outshines the list of famous white boxers.
