Answer:

Avalanche of punches is a metaphor.
Here, the hitting the boxer with numerous punches is being compared to an avalanche.

Explanation:

Metaphor:
Metaphors, also called direct comparisons, are one of the most commonly used poetic devices. It is a statement in which two objects, mostly unrelated, are compared to each other. Metaphors allow the writer to use and elaborate multiple descriptions and picturesque into one tiny sentence.

Similie:
Similes, also called indirect comparisons, are quite similar in formation to metaphors, but they depict a different meaning. They are used to compare two unrelated objects but unlike a metaphor, the comparison is based on the words “like” or “as.”

Thus, here, Avalanche of punches is a metaphor, comparing the person hitting a lot of punches to the boxer with an avalanche, i.e., snow falling off a mountain.
