Boxing
Boxing, which is a popular international sport on both amateur and professional levels, involves two competitors in the same weight class who fight with their gloved fists during a certain number of rounds inside a square boxing ring. A winner is proclaimed when one boxer knocks out his opponent. If all the rounds are played without a knockout, the referee, the judges keeping score, or both authorities together determine the victor. In the event of a tied or even match, the fight is ruled a draw. This section features various resources on amateur and professional boxing throughout the world.
