Boxing is a blood sport which often results in physical injury. It is inappropriate for this sport to exist in the modern age. Do you agree or disagree?

It is argued by some people that due to the frequent cases of bodily

injury

from boxing, it should be

ban

Suggestion

banned

in

this

modern era. I disagree with

this

view because some non combative sports do cause similar injuries and there are measures put in place to protect boxers from

injury

. One significant reason for the support of boxing today is owning to the fact that some other common sports often result in similar injuries.

In other words

, sports

such

as football, car racing and baseball inflict people with life-threatening wounds or have caused the death of some sport personalities.

For instance

, in 2014, a popular young footballer in Nigeria, sustained a ruptured spleen while playing football and

this

lead to his death.

Thus

, it would not be just to restrict boxing when other sports result in physical

injury

as well.

Furthermore

, organisers of boxing matches do provide protective standards for the participants.

This

is geared towards reducing or preventing injuries during the course of a fight.

For example

, amateur boxers wear protective head

in Olympic boxing matches while

to stop a bloody fight and declare a winner before a knock out. These precautionary measures have helped to reduce the frequency and the severity of injuries. In conclusion,

although

boxers often sustain physical

injury

during fights, boxing should not be

due to the fact that some other non combative sports cause similar injuries and protective measures are often ensured during fights. More people
