A boxing match is a competitive sport where two fighters, known as boxers, face off in a ring. Each boxer aims to score points by landing punches on their opponent while avoiding being hit. Matches are typically divided into rounds, with each round lasting three minutes, and are overseen by a referee to ensure fair play. Boxers wear protective gear, including gloves and mouthguards, to minimize injury. The match can end in several ways: a knockout, where one boxer is unable to continue, a technical knockout, where the referee stops the fight, or a decision by judges if the match goes the full distance.
