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 within a defined area called a ring. The sport has a set of rules and regulations that dictate how the match is conducted, including the number of rounds, scoring, and permissible techniques. Boxers score points by landing clean punches on their opponent, and matches can be won by knockout (KO), technical knockout (TKO), or by judges’ decision based on points. Boxing has a rich history, with origins tracing back to ancient civilizations and has evolved into various styles and professional organizations, culminating in numerous championships and weight classes. It is not only a sport but also a form of physical fitness, discipline, and self-defense.
