Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport that involves two participants of similar weight fighting each other with their fists in a series of rounds. Boxing requires strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and will, making it a highly competitive and physically demanding sport.

There are different types of boxing, which include Amateur Boxing, Professional Boxing, and Bare-knuckle Boxing. Each type has its own rules and regulations, as well as specific gear and equipment used by the fighters.

Amateur Boxing

• Regulated Matches: Fights are typically shorter and the fighters wear headgear for protection. The scoring is based on the number of clean punches landed rather than physical damage.

Professional Boxing

• Commercial Fights: Fights can go up to 12 rounds, and fighters do not wear headgear. The scoring is based on knockouts, technical knockouts, or the judges' decision based on points.

Bare-knuckle Boxing

• Traditional Fighting: This is the original form of boxing, where fighters do not wear gloves. It is less common today due to the high risk of injury.

• Boxing is part of the Olympic Games, where only amateur boxing is contested.
• World championships are held for professional boxing, organized by different sanctioning bodies such as the World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC), and International Boxing Federation (IBF).
