Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing protective gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, and strategy. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent while avoiding being hit. Matches take place in a square ring, and fighters are divided into weight classes to ensure fair competition. Boxing rules are governed by specific regulations which dictate the permitted techniques, scoring methods, and match conduct. It is recognized for its emphasis on athleticism, training, and technique, and has a rich history as both a competitive sport and a means of self-defense.
