Boxing is a type of combat sport in which two players throw punches at each other. Back in the days, the main goal of boxing is to knock the opponent unconscious. There are two forms of boxing: amateur boxing and professional. Although the term “boxing” is commonly attributed to “western boxing”, in which only the fists are involved, boxing has developed in various ways in different geographical areas and cultures.
In global terms, boxing is a set of combat sports focused on striking, in which two opponents face each other in a fight using at least their fists, and possibly involving other actions such as kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes, and head-butts, depending on the rules. Some of the forms of the modern sport are western boxing, bare knuckle boxing, kickboxing, muay-thai, lethwei, savate, and sanda. Boxing techniques have been incorporated into many martial arts, military systems, and other combat sports. More
