Out-Boxing, also called the "Boxer-Type", is one of the main styles of boxing and the opposite of the in-fighting. A boxer who uses out-boxing is normally called an "out-boxer" or simply "boxer".

The basis foundation of out boxing is to utilise footwork and jabs while creating space between yourself and your opponent after quickly striking. Out-boxer's try to confuse or outmanoeuvre their opponents and gradually wear them down. Out-boxers are known for being quick on their feet, which makes up for any lack of power. Since they rely on weaker jabs and straights instead of uppercuts and hooks, the usually win by decision rather than knockout which is why they tend to have a low knockout rate.

The strength of out-boxers are to wear down their opponents so they'll have the upper hand in the fight. Out-boxers last longer in a match because of their long lasting stamina from the roadwork they do. However, their greatest strength is also their weakness. The springing of their legs are what keeps them going in longer matches. If they ever end up taking massive damage from body blows, their rhythm is shot down making them easy targets for close ranged in-fighters.
