Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, and strategy by throwing punches at each other while attempting to avoid being hit. Matches are held within a squared ring, and the primary objective is to score points by landing effective strikes while adhering to specific rules. Boxers can win a match either by knocking out their opponent, which is when a fighter is unable to continue after being hit, or by accumulating more points through judges’ scoring decisions based on their performance over a set number of rounds. Boxing has various styles and techniques, and it is recognized for its emphasis on physical conditioning, reflexes, and mental toughness. The sport has historical roots tracing back thousands of years and is governed by various organizations that establish rules and weight classes.
