Yes, boxing can increase bone mass, especially in areas exposed to repeated stress like the hands, wrists, and forearms. The impact from punching stimulates the bones to grow denser and stronger over time. Footwork and strength training in boxing also support bone health in the legs and spine.
Boxing may even slightly increase bone density in the facial bones due to repeated impact, but this comes with higher risk. While the body can adapt by strengthening areas like the jaw and cheekbones, frequent hits to the face can lead to serious injuries. Protective gear and controlled training are essential
