Is boxing a good way to lose weight?

As far as workouts go, boxing is a great way to lose weight well. It combines cardiovascular exercises with strength and skill work, which, if you're after a workout that keeps your heart rate up, is perfect. It is recommended at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity a week,' with boxing falling firmly into the vigorous category.

Combining regular exercise with a healthy diet, eating in a calorie deficit, controlling your stress and getting good quality sleep is the best way to lose weight and lose body fat safely and sustainably. Doubling down on boxing workouts but ignoring the rest of your health (and that includes mental health, people) is not the way to hit your goals successfully.
