Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing protective gloves and other safety gear, engage in a contest of strength, speed, and strategy by throwing punches at each other within a defined area called a ring. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent or to achieve a knockout, whereby one fighter incapacitates the other, preventing them from continuing the match. Boxing matches are governed by specific rules and regulations that define techniques and conduct, including the duration of rounds, the scoring system, and legal punches. This sport has a rich history and is often both a recreational activity and a professional competition, with various weight classes and championships worldwide. Boxing emphasizes physical fitness, discipline, and mental resilience and has been practiced for centuries in various forms across different cultures.
