Is boxing worth the risk?

It is and it isn't. Let me expand on this.

Boxing is a working class sport. It is a sport of the poor man.

Boxing clubs are used in England and other countries to keep teenagers away from trouble. It gives them something to do. If you look at the professional boxers, most come from humble backgrounds. Boxing is way out for these people to a better and richer future. Only few make it out of thousands. Most boxers have a hope of winning the world title yet at the same time they know their limitations and use boxing as social contact and excercise to keep fit.

Boxing is less dangerous than media coverage it gets when boxer falls. There have been few high profile deaths due to physical beating boxer took. Look at the game overall and the statistics tell us a different story. Football is more dangerous than boxing.

The man or woman who gets injured in boxing ring for them boxing is not worth taking the risk for, sadly by the time they get injured it is too late.

Overall boxing is a very safe sport. It helps teenagers stay out of trouble and it is good physical excercise. So all in all well worth the risk.

Summary: well worth it
