A cockfight is a blood sport between two roosters (called gamecocks), held in a ring called a cockpit. People place bets on the winner bird.

Cockfighting is now illegal throughout the United States and in most of Europe.

Cockfighting is still very popular in many countries in Asia, and Latin America.
