Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing protective gloves and other equipment, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance by throwing punches at each other. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent’s body or to achieve a knockout, rendering the opponent unable to continue the match. Boxing matches are typically held in a square ring, and they are divided into rounds, with breaks between each round. The sport has various weight classes to ensure fair competition among participants of similar size and mass. Boxing has a rich history and has evolved over time, with different styles and techniques being developed around the world. It is governed by a set of rules regarding permissible strikes and conduct, and matches can be judged by referees and judges based on scoring criteria.
