I would like to talk about a sport I have watched before but have not played myself. Generally, I am interested in sports, more types of exercise, but I am a big fan of boxing. Two days ago, I watched a boxing competition on TV at home. The participants were extremely strong compared to others. First of all, in my country, there are more popular boxers, and I admire them. In the competition, boxers fight against their opponents, and they struggle with the power of their rivals. Additionally, the referees observe their abilities and select two contenders for the next competition. At that time, I felt worried and fearful. I think their characters are plucky and persistent. Although I have not played yet, I am optimistic about playing it in the future.
