how long are boxing matches

Boxing matches typically last up to 12 rounds in professional boxing, with each round lasting 3 minutes for men and 2 minutes for women. Between each round, there is a 1-minute rest period. Amateur boxing matches usually have fewer rounds, often 3 to 4, with shorter round durations, such as 2 minutes per round. The total length of a professional boxing match with 12 rounds and breaks is about 47 minutes. Non-title fights often have fewer rounds, typically 4 to 10 rounds. This structure helps balance the intensity, endurance, and safety of the fighters.
