Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants engage in a physical contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance, typically within a roped square known as a ring. Each competitor wears gloves and aims to land punches on their opponent while avoiding being hit. Scoring can occur through judges’ evaluations of the fighters’ performance, including effective strikes, defense, and overall control of the match. The sport has specific rules governing aspects such as weight classes, match duration, and allowed techniques. Boxing can also refer to the broader cultural and historical significance of the sport, encompassing amateur and professional levels, as well as its role in promoting fitness and discipline.
