"Boxer" vs "Boxers" disambiguation

Posted under Tags

These are two distinctive tags with very similar names. One is "boxer", which refers to a person who practiced boxing. Other is "boxers", which refers to a type of male underwear.

Given that the only difference is a single S, I think a qualification is needed, but I cannot think of any at the moment. Any help?

For reference here are the years and times the boxers tag was corrected for confusing boxers with boxing/boxer.
