In the US, there is no such thing as Boxing Day. The correct word usage for the sport of boxing 🥊 in context is: "boxing tournament," "boxing match" or "championship boxing." Boxing Day exists though as a tradition in England and in other countries: https://share.google/wJGobUxomy16jJ0vi

In case some people don’t know, Boxing Day is a Christmas celebration but my question is a play on with words joke.

Speaking as a former boxer myself; ANY day is a good day to knock somebody out! IMHO. I wouldn't want to put them in a box though. 12/3/25

Boxing Day is a bank holiday in the UK, celebrated on the 26th of December (or the 27th if the 26th is a Sunday). The origins are unclear but it may refer to the day the churches opened the "poor boxes" & donated the contents to the needy, the tradition in which the servants of the wealthy were allowed the next day to visit their families since they would have had to serve their masters on Christmas Day. The employers would give each servant a box to take home containing gifts, bonuses, and sometimes leftover food or the day when tradespeople, employees, etc., would receive presents or gratuities (a 'Christmas box') from their customers or employers.
