Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two competitors, usually wearing protective gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and strategy by throwing punches at each other. The goal is to score points by landing punches on the opponent or to achieve a knockout (KO) by rendering the opponent unable to continue the match. Boxing matches take place in a square ring, and they are typically divided into rounds, with specific rules governing the conduct of the bout. The sport has a rich history and has evolved over time, with various styles and techniques employed by fighters. Boxing is governed by set rules, which can vary by organization, but common regulations include weight classes, permissible strikes, and the duration of rounds. It is both a competitive sport and a form of exercise, often practiced for fitness and self-defense.
