Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two opponents engage in a contest of strength, speed, and tactical skill, primarily using their fists. Participants wear protective gloves and attempt to land punches on each other while avoiding being hit. The matches usually take place in a squared ring and are regulated by specific rules, which govern the number of rounds, scoring, and legal techniques. Boxers score points by landing clean, effective punches, and fights can be decided by points, knockout, or technical knockout. Boxing has various weight classes to ensure fair competition and is recognized globally, with significant historical roots and a rich tradition in many cultures.
