To many, boxing is more than a sport. It’s a hobby or passion that people can make a living out of and put their all into, as they have no other choice. The history of boxing goes back to bare-knuckle fights and to the more safe sport, we now know as boxing. 

This sport is all about putting your body through both mental and physical strength. Helping you discipline and strengthen yourself. Boxers work hard to build their speed, strength, and skill.

This is the least of the sport. 

Boxing is also something that helps many release stress, anger, or sadness, bringing success to many great athletes. A handful of Hall of Fame boxers came from bad backgrounds and used the sport to keep themselves disciplined and to face their problems outside the gym. Many of their upbringings bring hope to the youth who are facing the same struggles they once did. 

Many think that boxing is just about your physical strength which is far from the truth. This sport requires you to have a sharp mind, which you need in the ring. 

Boxers have to learn to predict their opponents to win the match. One wrong mistake can cause one to lose the match and get brutally hurt. So even though it takes a lot of muscular strength and mental strength, it also takes critical thinking which could help lead you to become a world champion. 

Even today boxing is a well-known sport, not just internationally but globally. Boxers from all different backgrounds come together and inspire many. Boxing is known for its special traditions and teachings of important values like respect and self-care.

It doesn’t matter if one is watching or making a career out of it, boxing teaches both how one can win in life.
