Boxing is a sport where two opponents try to hit each other with their fists. The objective is to hit the opponent in the face or torso enough times that they fall and cannot get back up within 10 seconds. Boxing originated in ancient Greece, where it was a popular sport, though the Romans used metal-capped hand protectors called cestus that could kill opponents. Modern boxing follows rules where rounds are three minutes with one minute breaks, referees control the fight and stop it if needed, three judges score each round on a 10-point system, and a fighter must get back up by the 8 count to continue.
