Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, usually wearing protective gloves and following specific rules, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance by throwing punches at each other. The sport typically takes place in a boxing ring and is governed by a set of rules that outline the scoring, permissible techniques, and conduct. Participants aim to score points by landing punches on their opponent or achieving a knockout, which occurs when one fighter is unable to continue fighting after being knocked down. Boxing has a rich history and is recognized not only as a competitive sport but also as a means of self-defense and physical fitness. It is classified into different weight categories to ensure fair competition among fighters of similar sizes.
