Olympic boxing

Olympic boxing is a sport where two trained athletes compete in a ring, aiming to score points by landing clean, controlled punches on their opponent’s upper body while wearing protective gear. Matches are divided into rounds, judged by officials who assess both the number and quality of successful punches. The sport emphasizes skill, strategy, and sportsmanship, with athletes representing their countries. Olympic boxing also features weight classes to ensure fair competition among similarly sized fighters. It combines technical proficiency with mental toughness, and winning can lead to national pride and Olympic medals.
