Boxers are one of the few male sports that have made it to the Olympics. In fact, boxing is one of only eight sports that have competed in every game from 1896 through 2012. They’ve also won three of those medals (1900, 2004, and 2008). Boxing isn’t exactly a high-tech sport; you don’t need to know how many punches are thrown in a round or how many attacks there are on a single opponent. But these attributes all help you determine whether a fighter is skilled enough to be called an Olympian. Boxers need to be highly skilled fighters who can take on multiple opponents without getting picked apart. A professional boxer needs to be able to handle pressure and get their aggression out during competition. Switching places is preferable if a striker needs more force to kick the ball accurately or with enough force. A striker must kick the ball with extreme precision. You can use windscreens custom-made during training to ensure alignment and protection.

You can throw punches to the head immediately once you hear “fight” in an Olympic match and both fighters are on their feet at that time.

- In a higher rank competition, you can have one or two seconds (the head coach) who can give you water and rub your shoulders during the time between rounds. You are not allowed to have seconds in Olympic competition.
- In a higher rank competition, boxers must wear black shorts and red gloves in amateur competitions and black shorts and red or blue gloves in professional matches; whereas in Olympic competitions, boxers can wear any color of shorts and gloves (e.g., yellow shorts with white gloves).
