Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance by throwing punches at each other. This sport is typically conducted in a square ring and is governed by a set of rules that dictate how the match is to be fought, including legal punches, the use of protective gear, and the conditions under which a fighter may be deemed the winner or loser. Boxing can be competed in various weight classes and is often organized into professional and amateur levels. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent while avoiding being hit, and fights can end in knockout, technical knockout, or decision based on judges’ scoring. Boxing has a rich history and is practiced worldwide, with significant cultural and social implications.
