If you are talking about prizefighting, the old English verb 'to box' means 'to punch, to hit'. If you are talking about the Chinese uprising (the 'Boxer Rebellion') of around 1900 AD, the name was a 'translation' by the British of the rebel group's Chinese name meaning "The Righteous and Harmonious Fists".
