I suppose we all have the right to choose what we want to do with our lives, and we also have the right to deal with the consequences of that choice don't we?!

I never have understood the interest in watching two men try to beat each others' brains out.

EternalLord3002, why people arent forced to box its a choice and the people doing it know the risk. just cuz you dont like it doesn't mean it should be banned

alot of the countries mentioned still stone women in the streets.for Evan supposedly inappropriate behavior.and what about female circumcision??. Boxing when done with the Marcus of Queensbury rules is a noble sport...A good punch in the nose...stops alot of bad behavior quick.

EternalLord3002, soon, government sanctioned murder in the name of a perceived moral high ground is acceptable but consenting competition isn't? if u don't like it then don't be a boxer, people's freedoms are being eroded daily in the name of protecting us from ourselves.

head to head in football. lots of concussions ban this sport it's over rated and over paid.

I have never understood the attraction of boxing. But not a sports fan of any kind.
enzo
if you remove the head you solve the concussion issue

Summerside217,
Hahaha,
I’m guessing it’s not as vicious to be pounded several times in the head when one chop is enough

IronNomad95586, it has players to old to can not get head right to find something better but them drugs they take have to be paid for

adams101313, Agreed. However, serious brain injuries require lifelong care. That impacts the patient, the family and consumes significant medical resources - and taxpayer dollars

Summerside217, Great point about the beheading versus boxing, Lol.

i think boxing should be banned entirely because there is many people who has died, has serious brain damage and even broke bones which is not good.
Sam
Summerside217, yep. How about stoning to death
Ruth
Summerside217, yeah that's a no brainier I'd say

Farah, just the sports? there is a lot of harm that could possibly happen in many ways.
Luna-tic
I'm wondering....with the number of people dying in wars, will they ban that?

Boxing (also known as "Western boxing" or "pugilism") is a combat sport in which two people, usually wearing protective gloves and other protective equipment such as hand wraps and mouthguards, throw punches at each other for a predetermined amount of time in a boxing ring.

My ex spouse boxed in the British Army in the 1960s. Decades later, still has damage from it, visible deformities and obvious ocular damages. Now my 13 yr old grandson is seriously interested in it. He's nearly 6ft too, and works out alot, so I got him a speedball last Christmas.
