Boxing Glossary · technique
Boxing at very close range, typically inside the opponent's punching arc. Infighters work at short distance, throwing hooks, uppercuts, and body shots where a taller or longer-armed opponent cannot land effectively. Infighting requires good head movement, body positioning, and the ability to punch powerfully in tight spaces.
