Are You Allowed To Step On Feet In Boxing. Being a defensive move i also like to lift my shoulder and tuck my chin a bit like a philly shell. Nope a boxer can not step on feet of opponent purposely the it should be illegal.
The correct boxing stance will allow you to throw a wider variety of punches without leaving you too exposed. Of course it is illegal. If you re going left step with the left foot while sliding the right to follow.
To perform the move you step your rear foot behind you whilst pivoting rotating on the ball of your lead foot.
Hopefully the ref sees the reason and calls it no knock down. Sometimes a fighter may get his feet tangled and go down. Some guys do it from the clinch but more as an annoyance than anything else. Just reverse it to go the opposite direction.
