Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing protective gloves, compete to score points by landing punches on each other while avoiding being hit. The sport is governed by a set of rules and takes place in a square ring. Matches are divided into rounds, and points are awarded based on the effectiveness and accuracy of punches, as well as overall control of the bout.

Boxing can be practiced as an amateur sport, often with protective headgear and lighter rules, or as a professional sport, where fighters aim to win championships and earn monetary rewards. The objective is to knock out the opponent or to win by scoring more points over the course of the match.

Boxing has a rich history and has evolved significantly over the years, becoming a popular spectator sport worldwide. It also encompasses various styles and techniques, including footwork, defense, and different punching methods, which contribute to a fighter’s overall skill and effectiveness in the ring.
