Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing protective gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and strategy by throwing punches at each other. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent or to knock them out, rendering them unable to continue. Boxing matches are typically held in a square ring, and bouts are structured in rounds, with a designated number of rounds per match, often three to twelve.

The sport emphasizes techniques such as footwork, head movement, and various punching styles, and it is governed by a set of established rules to ensure fair competition and participant safety. Boxing has a rich history and has evolved into various forms and styles, including amateur, professional, and different weight classes. It is recognized as both a competitive sport and a form of physical fitness training, promoting cardiovascular health and overall physical conditioning.
