Amateur boxing

Amateur boxing is a sport where fighters, often young athletes, compete in bouts typically lasting three rounds. The focus is on technique, speed, and skill, with an emphasis on safety and sportsmanship. Unlike professional boxing, amateurs wear protective gear like headgear and are scored primarily on the quality of their punches and overall performance rather than knockout power. Competitions are often part of national or international tournaments, including the Olympics. The goal is to demonstrate skill and earn victory through points, not necessarily to knock out the opponent.
