Amateur boxing is a form of competitive boxing for non-professional athletes, governed by organizations such as World Boxing (formerly AIBA) and featured in events like the Olympics, using shorter rounds, protective headgear (in some formats), and scoring based on clean, landed punches rather than knockouts. It serves as a training ground and pathway for boxers aspiring to turn professional, as well as a lifelong recreational and competitive pursuit for others. Its emphasis on technique, point-scoring, and safety distinguishes it from the professional ranks.
