Why is it always red and blue corners/shirts in olympic boxing?

I think that they are just really contrasting colors, yet at the same time very bright.

Blue and red were often used as army coats for conflicts as well (French/british). Also, I think even in ancient times they were used as opposing colors as well.

I think because they represent combat colours. Red for fire, blue for water both do not go together..

Because that is the colors that they liked.

isn't one republican and the other democrat...
