Nope - no boxing matches or anything like that. One team might have a football game on/planned, but that's not a national thing.
It's usually just a day to eat leftovers with the family, and maybe go into town to the shops with the boxing day sales (good time to buy next year's Christmas decor at 50% off).
Never had any connection to Boxing the sport.
Boxing gifts for the poor was it's origin.

Never knew anyone who liked football growing up, so certainly in my family/friends families, it wasn't a thing. Maybe one tv in one room an uncle watched, but it wasn't an event.
