Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two individuals, typically wearing protective gloves and competing in a ring, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance. The objective is to land punches on the opponent while avoiding being hit. Boxing matches are typically conducted under a set of rules that dictate permissible techniques, scoring, and conduct, often overseen by referees and judges. The sport is divided into various weight classes to ensure fair competition among participants of similar size. Boxing has a rich history and has evolved through numerous styles and techniques, providing both a competitive sport and a form of physical fitness and self-defense. It is also recognized for its cultural significance, often associated with intense rivalries and celebrated athletes.
