specially designed for this purpose, in brief fight sequences called rounds or
rounds and according to precise rules, which regulates weight categories and

In a more general way, boxing or pugilism refers to a wide genre of combat sports
where two opponents face off in fight using fists, exclusively or not, differing by
their rules different sports like boxing aforementioned English or actual boxing,

affected by gender bias. The recognition of the rights of women and progress in the
fight against discrimination, have allowed in the past decades recorded a boom of
women's boxing, so 20112 Pan American Games and the Summer Olympic
