Boxers often have a muscular back but I don’t know how it helps generate power. (English is not my first language, so sorry if I wrote something wrong)
In: Biology
In addition to the excellent answers others provided about the muscles working together to power a punch (for more reading, look up *kinetic linking*), boxers also have good back muscles because they need to move their torso fast to avoid their opponent’s punches.
Standard defenses include slipping (leaning a bit to the side), bobbing (ducking a bit) and weaving (leaning more to the side), which use all the torso muscles extensively, as well as the legs and head.
