Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance by throwing punches at each other within a defined area, usually a boxing ring. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent or to achieve a knockout, rendering the opponent unable to continue the match. Boxing is governed by a set of specific rules, including regulations on permissible strikes, rounds, and scoring by judges. The sport has a rich history and is practiced at both amateur and professional levels, often featuring weight classes to ensure fair competition. Boxing has also evolved into a significant cultural phenomenon, with a variety of styles and techniques, along with training disciplines that include cardiovascular conditioning and resistance training.
