Faustkampf (Pygme)
Pygme / ancient Greek boxing denotes ancient Greek boxing, not a current officially governed sport federation. Sources such as Olympics/IOC, Britannica and British Museum material document the historical Olympic/combat-sport context; concrete rules are reconstructed and fragmentary. The entry is therefore downgraded from official to catalog-sourced.
