Should boxing be banned?

Boxing, the physical skill of fighting with fists, originated as a sport around 800BC. It is a sport of antiquity that has had a troubled and contentious livelihood. Despite a tightening of safety regulations, neurological and non-neurological injuries have continued with this sport. Most medical associations have policies against boxing, including the World Medical Association and the national bodies of the USA, Britain and Australia.

Unlike in any other sport, boxers intend to physically injure their opponents by knockout. Allowing people to intentionally inflict injuries upon others for public entertainment and private profit is barbaric. Children especially are trained in these ways. When boxers turn professional, they have often already fought in at least 50 fights in their youth, which does not include the countless rounds of sparring during training sessions. Boxers are essentially being trained in violent ways, often at a young age.

Is this game, one of the reason to increases violence in children?

Not only the boxing, more outdoor games have this same problem. Then what you think about rugby, kabbadi, football, hockey and more. These games also the reason for increasing violence. Indians are the continues world champs in kabbadi also we have expecting the olympic medals in boxing category only.If violence is the only reason to banned boxing means, we have banned all other outdoor games.

I don't think so, football or hockey is not a game to hit the opponent and win the match.

in this euro12 david villa not playing for spain coz of his injury, it might be a planned 1. I think you know why the umpire always using yellow and red cards in match times. Also in hockey we have seen many times blood injuries(mostly in ind vs pak matches), here also they are using yellow and red cards. Just check youtube you can get more videos.

In football, yellow and red cards are given if a player hits the other player. But in boxing, If you hit the other person only you will get scores. Hockey or football is entirely different from boxing.
