Advantages: Dedication, hard work and a sense of achievement

Disadvantages: pain and hurt

Life is full of risks, and yet we take the risks day after day and minute after minute, if we didn't then we would never do anything. Yes, some things are more risky than others but if someone else is willing to take a risk that is bigger than a risk we are willing to take ourselves, who are we to judge? How many people have been seriously injured boxing compared to how many people have been injured in car crashes? And yet getting into a car and driving to work isn't considered a risk.

Another reason people might appose to boxing is humans, hurting humans as a job is a bit unnecessary right? So why is boxing, someone's occupation frowned upon more than such as a solider? Afterall a soldier harms other humans too, perhaps not intentionally but innocent people do sometimes get caught up in wars.

I have a brother who is a champion kickboxer, I couldn't be more proud of him if I tried. Yes it does hurt me to see him getting hurt or hurting someone else but it also makes me proud to see him achieving his dreams and progressing in the sport he is so dedicated to. I can see why people would want to ban the sport but there is so much more to the sport than injuries and hurting each other, there is lots of hard work and dedication, just like an athlete training for a race, a boxer spends hours a day training their body and brain to enable them to progress further up the career ladder and achieve their dream.

Summary: Who are we to judge someone else's career choice?
