Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing gloves and protective gear, engage in a contest of strength, speed, and skill by throwing punches at each other while trying to avoid being hit. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent’s torso and head or to achieve a knockout, which occurs when one fighter is unable to continue after being struck. Matches take place in a squared ring, and the sport is governed by specific rules and regulations, including the number of rounds, the duration of each round, and scoring criteria. Boxing has a rich history and is practiced at both amateur and professional levels, with various weight classes to ensure fair competition. It is also recognized for its physical and mental benefits, including improved fitness, discipline, and self-defense skills.
