Usage Note
Boxeur is the French word for a boxing athlete. The feminine form is boxeuse. The sport itself is la boxe. Note that boxer (without the '-eur' suffix) is a verb meaning 'to box', so un boxeur is the agent noun, not the anglicism boxer.
Examples
"Le boxeur s'entraîne deux heures chaque matin."
Natural Translation
The boxer trains for two hours every morning.
