Boxing is a combat sport in which two participants, typically wearing gloves, engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance. The objective of boxing is to score points by landing punches on the opponent while avoiding being hit. Matches are held in a squared ring, and participants follow a set of rules that govern permissible strikes, conduct, and scoring. Professional boxing bouts are usually divided into rounds, with breaks in between, and are judged by officials based on criteria such as the effectiveness of punches, defensive skills, and overall control of the match. Boxing has a rich history and is governed by various organizations and regulations, making it one of the most popular and widely practiced martial arts and competitive sports worldwide.
