Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing protective gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, and strategy by throwing punches at each other while attempting to avoid being hit. The match takes place in a regulated ring and is divided into rounds, with each round lasting a predetermined amount of time. Points are scored based on the number of clean punches landed on the opponent and overall performance, with the goal of winning by knockout (KO), technical knockout (TKO), or by judges’ decision. Boxing has a rich history and varies in style and rules across different organizations and levels of competition. It is also recognized for its physical fitness benefits and has a significant cultural presence in many societies.
