Rules

Here are the rules of boxing:

1. Boxing matches are typically divided into rounds, with each round lasting three minutes for professional bouts and two minutes for amateur bouts.
2. Boxers must wear gloves and protective gear, including mouthguards and headgear (for amateurs).
3. The objective is to score points by landing punches on the opponent's body and head, or to knock out the opponent.
4. Boxers are not allowed to hit below the belt, use their elbows, or strike with the back of their hands.
5. Referees oversee the match to ensure that the rules are followed and can stop the fight if a boxer is deemed unable to continue safely.
