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, and endurance by throwing punches at each other. The competition takes place in a square ring, and matches are typically divided into rounds. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent or to win by knockout, where one fighter incapacitates the other. Boxing has a rich history and is governed by specific rules and regulations, including weight classes and scoring systems. It is recognized for its physical demands and has both amateur and professional levels, with champions often celebrated for their skill and athleticism.
