Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance, primarily using punches. It is governed by a set of rules that dictate how the match is conducted, including permissible strikes, scoring criteria, and safety measures. Matches are held in a squared ring, and fighters aim to outscore or knock out their opponent through effective strikes while also defending themselves from incoming blows. Boxing has various weight classes to ensure fair competition and can culminate in professional contests, amateur bouts, or Olympic competitions. It is recognized for its rigorous training, tactical strategy, and the physical and mental discipline required from its athletes.
