    You're a boxer, I'd expect you to know this.

    "Boxing is a combat sport, which uses fists as the sole vehicle of attack inside a roped ring."

    Boxing is the art of hitting your opponent whilst not getting hit back!

    'Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up'.

    Or, it is a scientific art of hitting an opponent and not being hit yourself
