Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and strategy by throwing punches at each other. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent while avoiding being hit. Matches occur in a ring and are divided into rounds, with a referee overseeing the contest to ensure safety and fairness. Scoring is often based on criteria such as the number of clean hits, the impact of punches, and the fighters’ overall performance. Boxing has various styles, categories, and weight classes, making it accessible to a wide range of athletes. It has historical roots dating back to ancient civilizations and has evolved into a highly regulated sport with professional and amateur levels.
