Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing protective gloves and hand wraps, engage in a contest of strength, speed, and tactics by throwing punches at each other. The matches take place in a contained area known as a boxing ring. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent or to win the match by knocking them out. Boxers compete in various weight classes to ensure fair competition, and bouts are governed by a set of rules that include regulations on how punches can be thrown and where they can land. The sport emphasizes physical conditioning, strategy, and technical skill, and it has a rich history and culture, with organized competitions ranging from amateur to professional levels worldwide.
