Boxing Calorie Calculator

Estimate calories burned during boxing using weight, duration, and intensity.

Calculate Calories Burned

Formula

Calories = (MET × weight × 3.5 ÷ 200) × duration

Higher intensity boxing significantly increases calorie burn.

How many calories does boxing burn per hour?

A 70kg person burns approximately 400–800 calories per hour depending on intensity.

How this calculator works

This tool uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values to estimate calorie burn based on effort level.

You may also find our TDEE calculator or 1RM calculator useful.

Training Insight

  • Higher intensity generally increases calorie burn more than simply extending workout duration
  • Boxing engages full-body muscle groups
  • Intervals increase total burn over steady pacing
