Boxing

Boxing is a contact sport in which two participants, typically wearing protective gloves and other gear, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and strategy by throwing punches at each other. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent while avoiding being hit. Matches take place in a squared ring and are divided into rounds, with competitors judged by a referee and often a panel of judges who score the bout. Boxing has established rules and weight classes to ensure fair competition. It can be practiced both as a competitive sport and as a form of exercise or self-defense. The origins of boxing date back to ancient civilizations, and it has evolved into a popular sport worldwide, encompassing various styles and traditions.
