The goal of boxing is to cause significant concussion to your opponent.
In any other sport, the player will be considered to have a significant injury and be taken off the field and even banned from playing for a while.
Yet, in Boxing, this is allowed.
Although it is a big cash spinner, should we not "call Time" on the sport?
If boxing banned for reasons of injury, then wrestling need to be banned, as, wrestlers also get injuries during wrestling, So injuries, if considered, criteria for banning some sports, then only boxing along with other sports, could be considered candidate for banning.
Unfortunately, How can we call or describe boxing (which called the sweet or the sweet art) by a sport with a goal to cause concussion. I think it is not fair. The AIBA Technical and Competition Rules within the previous years has worked hard to keep both boxers safe through the combat and training.
Why we are We shooting at boxing for be banned?
There are several other sports are a multitude of other risks already linked with sports, besides steroids increase competition. Few months ago, a media car ran Johnny Hoogerland off the road during the Tour de France, sending him headlong into barbed wire. Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann famously had his leg broken and career ended mid-game, and the devastating long term effects of concussions are found in so many sports.
