Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'boxing' specifies the activity and 'equipment' denotes the gear, so together they clearly mean gear used for boxing. This noun-noun compounding is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern and would be predictable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Boxing equipment comes from the sport boxing and the word equipment, which means 'gear' or 'tools' used for a purpose. Imagine a boxer putting on gloves, hand wraps and a mouthguard before training — those items are boxing equipment, so the phrase means the 'gear' used for boxing and practice.
