This extraordinary compilation of material dates back to the mid-1950s and is a historic trawl through the Crystal Video archive.

Watching this you really can trace the humble origins of today's far-reaching female fight scene.

Don't be misled by the title – these are ‘catfights' only in the sense that they show women in combat.

All the matches (and there are approaching twenty) are of the boxing variety, the women wearing boxing gloves and usually clad in bikinis.

There is no sound on this DVD (as there probably wasn't to start with, so vintage are many of the clips) but there's enough footage to keep boxing fans and female fight historians glued to their screens for hours.

From shaky-cam black and white footage with hastily applied captions to sexy Charlie's Angels look-alikes from the 1970s hurling punches to head and stomach – with some slow motion thrown in to revisit the best bits – this truly is a romp through foxy boxing history.

Comment:
Rare archive footage from the early days of foxy female boxing.
