Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two individuals, typically wearing gloves, compete in a ring by throwing punches at each other with the aim of scoring points or knocking out their opponent. The sport is governed by a set of rules and regulations that dictate the conduct of the fight, including the number of rounds, weight classes, and permissible techniques. Boxers are trained in various techniques, footwork, and strategies to outmaneuver their opponent while defending themselves. Matches can be won by decision (through scoring by judges), knockout (where one fighter is unable to continue), or technical knockout (when the referee stops the fight for safety reasons). Boxing has a rich history and is recognized both as a professional sport and an amateur activity, with significant cultural and social implications worldwide.
