'''Queensberry Rules''' are the standard rules of [[boxing]], drafted in 1867 under the name and patronage of the [[Marquess of Queensberry]]. They formed the basis of modern glove fighting as distinct from earlier [[bare-knuckle]] contests. The rules required the wearing of gloves and rounds of three minutes' duration interspersed with a minute of rest as well as providing rules for not hitting a man when he is down.  They also prohibited any form of [[wrestling]].
