The correct answer to this open question is the following.

According to Esherick, the name "Boxer Rebellion" is not accurate. I agree with this thesis because the Chinese Boxer Rebellion was not primarily directed against the Chinese government. All the fury of the rebels was against foreign people and the western foreign influence that tried to change Chinese values and traditions.

We are talking about the thesis of American author Joseph W. Esherick.

The "Boxer Rebellion" started in Chine in 1899 and ended in 1901. Young Chinese rebels, some of them who practiced box and martial arts, started the rebellion in opposition to western influences such as the Christian missions that tried to evangelize the Chinese.
