Boxing
Boxing is one of the five games featured in Wii Sports. The objective of Boxing is to reduce your opponent's health meter and get a T.K.O. to win the match. To get a T.K.O. the player must weaken the opponent and then knock him/her on the ground. The opponent must stay on the ground for 10 seconds to win the round. The player has 3 rounds to accomplish this. If either player/CPU cannot T.K.O the other during the three rounds, a decision will be made post-match to determine who the winner will be based on their performance.
Gameplay
Gameplay involves holding the Wii Remote and Nunchuck like Boxing gloves and thrusting the controllers as if punching an opponent.
How to get Silver gloves
You can unlock the silver gloves when you defeat Matt with the normal gloves. Here is a secret trick you can do: before Boxing, you need to hold the 1 Button, and when the Boxing game starts, you'll have the silver gloves.

Wii Sports Club
Boxing returns as a sport in Wii Sports Club with many changes. The outside of the ring has changed to seat more people and there are now assistants cheering for the playings beside the ring and before a new round starts, there is a cutscene where they give the Mii water and spray them. The first CPU is Matt and the champion is Pit.
The spraying can.
The outfits of the Miis have changed, Miis now wear boots, and now all Miis wear vests regardless of gender.
However, there's a slight difference between the vests depending on their gender:
- Male Mii's vest has a low-cut top, revealing the upper chest a little bit.
- Female Mii's vest has a round neckline, which completely covers their upper chest.

Trivia
- This was shown in the 2014 movie Boyhood, where Mason was staying with his stepfather.
- This was also shown in The Big Bang Theory (season 1, episode 15), when Leonard and Howard are seen playing together.
- It’s unknown why not all females appear in this sport.
- There seem to be no males in Wii Sports that don't play Boxing. This is because the list of Miis that don't play Boxing is full of females.
- Unlike Wii Sports Boxing, you or the opponent can end up getting dizzy in Wii Sports Club Boxing after receiving a certain amount of punches. During this state, the guard is dropped and all the stunned boxer can do is dodge.
- The health meter also depletes with every hit you give your opponent in Wii Sports Club. In Wii Sports, your opponent needs a certain amount of hits for his or her health meter to deplete.
