Professional Boxing
Boxing at a paid, licensed level governed by professional sanctioning bodies such as the BBBofC (British Boxing Board of Control). Professional boxers are paid to compete and can earn world titles recognised by bodies like the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO. Professionals do not wear headguards and fight longer bouts than amateurs.
