Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, wearing protective gloves and other equipment, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and strategy. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent while avoiding being hit. Matches typically occur in a ring and are divided into rounds, with judges scoring the bout based on the effectiveness of the punches landed, defense, and overall ring generalship. Boxing has a rich history and is governed by a set of rules and regulations aimed at ensuring fair competition and the safety of the fighters. It can be categorized into amateur boxing, often seen in the Olympics, and professional boxing, where fighters compete for titles and purses. The sport emphasizes physical fitness, discipline, and mental toughness.
