Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance, primarily using their fists while wearing gloves. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent or to achieve a knockout, which occurs when one fighter is unable to continue due to being struck. Boxing matches take place in a defined area known as a ring and are governed by specific rules that dictate legal techniques, scoring systems, and protections for the fighters. The sport has a rich history and has evolved through various styles and techniques, leading to different weight classes and professional organizations. Boxing is not only a competitive sport but also a form of exercise and self-defense, with significant cultural and social significance in many communities around the world.
