Footwork is a very important part of boxing because footwork puts you in a position, where you can move around and avoid the opponent’s punches, footwork also gets the boxer in the right position, the right stance, and to set you in the position to throw a punch.

Next is the “45 degree stepping - it’s very similar to the lateral movement but you are moving at a 45 degree angle or in an X shape.
