Boxing in the 1980s was filled with important fights, events and personalities that shaped the sport. Boxing in the 1980s was shaped by many different situations, such as the continuous corporate battles between the different world sanctioning organizations, the void left by Muhammad Ali as the sport's ambassador and consequent search for a new boxing hero, the continuous presence of Don King as the sport's most famous promoter and the surge of rival promoters as Bob Arum, Butch Lewis and Murad Muhammad.

Music groups in the 1980s came from many countries and with many different types of rock/pop music. These groups benefited from technological advances, the advent of television station MTV, and the production of CDs and music videos to go together with their music. It must be mentioned that 1980s music is generally very distinct from the music of other decades. While 1960s and 1970s music and well as 1990s and 2000s music share a lot in common, the 80s sound generally is confined to the 1977-1992 period, centering on 1982-1988. Among groups that were famous during the 1980s are: < ...
