A cockfight or Rooster fighting is a blood sport, held in a ring called a cockpit. The history of raising fowl for fighting goes back 6,000 years.

But it was during Magellan's voyage of discovery of the Philippines in 1521 when modern cockfighting was first witnessed and documented for Westerners by the Italian Antonio Pigafetta, Magellan's chronicler, in the Kingdom of Taytay.
