To sign "boxing," form both hands into fists (S-handshapes) and hold them up in front of your chest, similar to how a boxer holds their gloves to protect their face. Alternate punching your fists forward a short distance a couple of times. The movement should be quick and mimic the action of throwing punches in a boxing match.
Sign 'I', 'like', 'watch', then use the alternating punching motion for 'boxing', followed by the fingerspelled letters 'T-V'.
Point to the person for 'he', sign 'take', then perform the 'boxing' sign with your fists, and finish with the sign for 'class'.
Sign 'you', 'like', and then the 'boxing' sign, making sure to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly to indicate a yes/no question.

No, the movement should be controlled and kept within your normal signing space. Short, gentle alternating jabs are perfectly sufficient to communicate the word without risking hitting anything or anyone.
It can be used for both! You can use this sign to refer to the professional sport of boxing, a boxing match on television, or the physical action of boxing.
You use the 'S' handshape for both hands, which looks like a standard closed fist. This clearly represents the heavy boxing gloves worn by the athletes.
