How it's used
Refers specifically to someone who has achieved the highest title in a boxing competition. While it can be used for professional athletes, it is also frequently used in a hyperbolic or playful sense to describe someone who is exceptionally good at fighting or even just very aggressive in a verbal argument.

Avoid using this to describe any martial artist, as it is strictly reserved for boxing. Use 武術家 or 師傅 for other combat sports or traditional martial arts.
