Boxing was introduced as an Olympic sport at the 23rd Olympiad in 688 B.C., with the first Olympic winner being Onomastos Smyrnaios. According to the historian, Dion, the ancients did not value beatings or knockouts in boxing. Rather, the aim was to remain un-injured ("atravmatistos") until the opponent became exhausted and signalled defeat by raising two fingers ("apagorefsi"). One great fighter avoided blows for two days before his opponent gave up. In Ancient Greek culture, the god, Apollo, was regarded as the inventor and guardian of the sport of boxing.
