Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, usually wearing gloves and protective gear, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and agility by throwing punches at each other. Matches are typically held in a squared ring, and fighters score points by landing clean punches on their opponent while avoiding strikes themselves. The objective can be to win by knockout (KO), where one fighter is unable to continue, or by decision, where judges score the match based on performance. Boxing has a rich history and is governed by various rules and regulations, including weight classes to ensure fair competition. It is also recognized for its significant cultural and social impact, contributing to fitness and the development of discipline among practitioners.
