«Box-off» n'a pas d'équivalent terminologique en soi; «ronde» est utilisé lorsqu'il s'agit de trois rondes comme en boxe amateur et aux Jeux olympiques et combat, lorsque la rencontre est de 10 à 15 rondes comme en boxe professionnelle. 3, record 1, French, - rondes%20%C3%A9liminatoires

Le Comité International Olympique (CIO) demande de respecter le nom des Jeux Olympiques tel qu'établi dans la Charte olympique, soit d'utiliser la majuscule «O». Par contre, les règles d'écriture de la langue française recommandent d'utiliser «Jeux olympiques», graphie préconisée par Sport Canada. 4, record 1, French, - rondes%20%C3%A9liminatoires
