Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, usually wearing protective gloves and other safety gear, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and strategy by throwing punches at each other while trying to avoid being hit. The sport takes place in a squared ring, and bouts are divided into rounds. Boxers score points by landing clean, effective punches on their opponent and can win by knockout (KO), technical knockout (TKO), or judges’ decision after the match ends. Boxing is governed by a set of rules and regulations that vary depending on organizations and competition formats. It has a rich history and has evolved into various styles, including amateur and professional boxing. The sport is often regarded for its physical demands and the need for mental discipline, making it a popular activity for both athletes and enthusiasts.
