boxer
Fist sport athlete
A boxer is a person who fights with their fists as a sport, following rules that govern rounds, weight classes, and legal punches.
The word also names a breed of medium-sized dog with a short muzzle and muscular build, known for playful energy and standing on hind legs to "box" with front paws.
In the plural, boxers are loose-fitting men's undershorts: He prefers boxers to briefs. (Capitalized Boxer refers to the Chinese rebellion.)
