Think Inside The Box...er

◆◆ · By LarsCaine · Published 2024-08-13T00:32:15.498Z

Meta Prompt
This was once the name of a famous athlete (I apologize in advance for the choppiness of this puzzle: 2-letter words, single letters just hanging in space, obscure words, etc., etc., etc. Sorry!)
Hint: Sometimes a boxer is told to go to their corner
