Boxing or boxing is a combat sport in which fighters wear padded gloves and use their hands to attack and defend.

The goal in boxing is to deliver blows to score or knock out the opponent, following a set of predetermined rules. The fights take place in a boxing ring, a cushioned platform surrounded by ropes that delimit the combat area.

The boxing match ends when the total time runs out or when one of the fighters is unable to continue the fight.
