Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two individuals, typically wearing gloves and protective gear, engage in a contest of strength, speed, and skill by exchanging punches. The objective is to score points by hitting the opponent, with points awarded based on the accuracy and effectiveness of the strikes, or to win by knocking the opponent out. Boxing matches are held in a ring and are divided into rounds, with each round lasting a set period of time. The sport requires extensive training and technique, including footwork, defensive maneuvers, and strategic planning. Boxing is governed by various rules and regulations, including weight classifications and scoring systems, which can vary depending on the organizing body. It is practiced both as a competitive sport and as a form of exercise or self-defense.
