Boxing Timer is the round timer fighters actually use. Built for boxing, MMA, kickboxing, and HIIT β with the real bell, the wooden clapper warning, and a coach calling combos. What makes it different Real boxing protocol. The brass bell rings at round start and end. The 10-second warning is the wooden clapper you hear ringside, not a beep. A four-bell finale closes a session. Voice coach with combos. A male English voice calls combos during rounds β "one, two, three", "slip, two", "head, body, head". Cadence is yours: light, standard, heavy, or off. Pick any voice installed on your device. Built-in presets and a custom editor. Boxing 3Γ3, Kickboxing 5Γ2, MMA 5Γ5, HIIT 10Γ30 β plus a custom preset editor for any rounds, durations, and warning windows. Phase-aware visuals.
