I like a lot of sports. I like football, baseball, soccer, basketball and bowling. Out of all these sports, my favorite sport is boxing. In this essay, I’m going to discuss the good and bad things about boxing and why it’s my favorite sport. I am going to also talk about my personal involvement in the sport.

But, I believe that only God knows what’s in store for me down the
