Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing protective gloves and lightweight clothing, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and strategy. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent, with matches generally conducted in a rectangular ring under a set of rules and regulations. Boxing has various weight classes, ensuring competitors of similar sizes face each other, and bouts are judged based on criteria such as the number and effectiveness of punches landed, control of the ring, and overall sportsmanship. The sport has a rich history and is governed by multiple organizations that sanction professional bouts, enforce rules, and oversee rankings.
