Boxing Glossary · Competition
The space at each corner of the ring where a boxer's team - including the trainer, cornerman, and cutman - works between rounds. Between rounds, the corner team provides water, tactical advice, injury treatment, and motivation. A corner can also stop the fight by throwing in the towel if they believe their boxer is in danger.
Coaches use this word as practical shorthand. Learn the meaning here, then connect it to the relevant training or class context in the Learn hub.
If the term comes up in class and you are unsure how it applies to you, ask a coach before trying to force it into sparring or pad work.
