I take the dating from Farrington (2012), 147 note 473, who refers to the source IG II(2), 3163 mentioning the Hadrianeia - presumed to be of Athens - founded in ca. 131-2 A.D. and the lack of references to contests that postdate Hadrian. The source is not entirely legible - some crowns seem to have been defaced - but mentions several victories 'in a row' and generally enumerates victories in famous contests, besides 35 agones thematikoi kai talantiaioi, presumably all of them in boxing. - PK
