| | By 1867, when the John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry lent his name to John Graham Chambers' rules, sporting fisticuffs had become a nearly perfect replacement for dueling. | | | With the gradual acceptance of Marquess of Queensberry Rules, two distinct branches of boxing emerged, professional and amateur, and each produced its own local, national and international governing bodies and its own variation of the rules. | | | The rules were published under the patronage of the Marquess of Queensberry, whose name has always been associated with them. |

This proved especially popular in America. |

| | Somdomite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The notorious malapropism of somdomite ("sodomite") has echoed for over a hundred years, since John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensbury, the furious father of Oscar Wilde's lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, left his card for Wilde at the Albemarle Club, inscribed "For Oscar Wilde, posing as a somdomite." | | | The Marquess had warned Wilde to stay away from his son, but the infatuated Wilde ignored him. | | | To confuse matters even further, although the version above is generally accepted, there is some doubt about what Queensberry wrote on the card, since his handwriting was virtually unreadable. |
