Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing protective gloves and adhering to specific rules, engage in a contest of strength, speed, and agility by throwing punches at each other. The primary objective is to score points by landing effective strikes on the opponent while avoiding being hit. Matches are usually divided into rounds, with judges scoring the performance based on criteria such as the number and quality of punches landed, defensive skills, and overall control of the match. Boxing can be practiced at various levels, from amateur to professional, and is governed by specific organizations that set regulations to ensure the safety of the fighters. It requires physical conditioning, strategy, and mental focus, making it both a sport and a method of self-defense.
