FWell boxing is pretty simple because in boxing you use your fist and their is less damage then kickboxing and boxing it's very hard to connect a proper punch to your opponents head or body because in a match you would have to keep one shoulder guarding your jaw or both hands up where your jaw is, and with kickboxing it is more dangerous but,you can keep your distance by using your legs but you need to be careful with kick boxing because your not just gaurding one spot.

Boxing is 2 people in a ring who can only use their fists to win the fight.

Mixed Martial Arts can take place in a ring or octagon cage and consists of 2 people fighting using 3 disciplines - 1) stand up fighting (boxing, muay thai, kickboxing), 2) Wrestling and takedowns, 3) submissions (bjj) and ground and pound.

Both have their set of rules to prevent permanent damage to the contestants and have a referee in the ring.
