Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, usually wearing gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and strategy by throwing punches at each other while attempting to avoid being hit. Competitors typically fight in a square ring and are divided into weight classes to ensure fair competition. Boxing matches consist of a predetermined number of rounds, with each round lasting a specific duration. Points are scored based on the effectiveness of punches landed, and bouts can be won by knockout, technical knockout, or decision by judges. The sport has a rich history and has evolved over time, gaining popularity worldwide as both a competitive sport and a form of entertainment.
