Boxin can be said to be similar in some respects to the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Box Boxer]], as both rely on Fighter-like techniques, though the latter uses its ears to box with instead of arms.
Boxin made his debut in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and has since appeared in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''. Both incarnations are minor enemies in the games. ''Squeak Squad'''s instruction manual debuted artwork of Boxin. It was also given a few more fighting moves to attack Kirby with.
