Could punching the wall makes ur knuckles stronger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Your knuckles are simply joints in your fingers. So how does inflicting damage on hard bone make it stronger? You can actually fracture them. One type of finger fracture is even called a Boxer's fracture. You will develop calluses though which is what is perceived as "stronger".
