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 one another while trying to avoid being hit. The fight takes place in a square ring, and the competitors score points based on the accuracy and effectiveness of their strikes. Boxing is governed by a set of rules that detail permissible techniques and conduct, aiming to ensure the safety of the fighters. Matches are divided into rounds, and the outcome can be determined by a knockout (KO), technical knockout (TKO), or judges’ decision based on scoring criteria. Boxing has a rich history, with roots tracing back to ancient civilizations, and has evolved into a widely practiced and viewed sport globally. It includes various weight classes and is known not only for its physical demands but also for the mental discipline and strategy involved in competition.
