Introduction To Boxing

Boxing (also known as Western boxing or boxing) is a fighting sport in which two people usually wear pro fight boxing gloves and other protective equipment (such as Competition Light Groin Guard and Leather Muay Thai Headgear) and punch each other at a predetermined time on the boxing ring.

Although the term boxing is often attributed to Western boxing, which only involves the fist, boxing has developed in different ways in different geographical regions and cultures. On a global scale, boxing is a combat sport with a focus on hitting, where two opponents use their fists at least during combat and may involve other movements such as kicking, elbow, knee, and head hits, depending on the rules.
Some forms of modern sports include Western boxing, unarmed boxing, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Liteway, Savart, and Sanda. Boxing techniques have been incorporated into many martial arts and other combat sports.

Although humans have been engaged in hand to hand combat since the beginning of human history, the earliest evidence of any type of boxing can be seen in Sumerian carvings dating back to 3000 and 2000 BC. The earliest evidence of boxing rules can be traced back to ancient Greece, where boxing was designated as an Olympic sport in 688 BC.

Boxing evolved from professional boxing competitions in the 16th and 18th centuries (mainly in England) to a pioneer of modern boxing in the mid-19th century, and the Marquess of Queensbury rules were introduced in 1867.

Amateur boxing is both an Olympic and Commonwealth Games event, and a standard event in most international competitions - it also has its own World Championships. Boxing is supervised by the referee during a series of one to three minute intervals called rounds.

When the referee believes that the opponent cannot continue playing or disqualifies them, the winner can be determined before the end of the round. When the game reaches the end of the last round, both sides are still standing, and the referee's scorecard determines the winner. If two boxers receive the same score from the referee, the professional match is considered a draw. In Olympic boxing competitions, as the winner must be announced, the referee will award the competition to a boxer based on technical standards.
