Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two individuals, typically wearing gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, and strategy by delivering and defending against punches. The sport is governed by specific rules that outline permissible strikes, scoring systems, and the length of bouts. Competitors aim to outscore their opponents through clean and effective punches while avoiding being hit themselves. Boxing matches can take place in a ring, and bouts are often divided into rounds. The sport has various weight classes to ensure fair competition among participants of different sizes. Boxing has a rich history and is practiced both as a professional sport and as a form of fitness training and self-defense. It is recognized for its mental and physical demands, requiring discipline, agility, and tactical thinking from its athletes.
