Football has worse injuries.

This is sad. RIP Champ.

One of the stupidest professions ever. I consider boxers as mentally deranged persons. Not only them, their fans are in the same category.

They are the reason I'm convinced that there are many mad people in the world.

1000 ways to die.... Died fighting to earn a living....RIP

Exactly.... And you can't say the opponent killed him. Aside military, I don't understand hitting someone on the face hard to earn a living, and it is approved. Most lose their sight , consciousness or death. They are simply candidates for the medics. There are a whole lots of sports one can engage it. If you must fight, then do WWE, which is an entertainment.

Football injuries leads to disabilities not fatalities

The problem is, the same reasoning one would use to ban boxing is the same reasoning one would use to ban other sports.

Running can cause stress fracture of the leg, severe abrasions on the skin, arthritis, severe pain, and hamstring and joint injuries. And can stress out your body

Soccer has been implicated in dementia in the past, to say nothing of severe leg and knee injury. And head injury.One ex Nigeria international died of severe head injury after hitting his head against another player when they went up for a ball ( not sam okwaraji).

Tennis can strain and injure your elbow. And cause fractures too

All.sports.have risks

Fatalities while rare do happen.. sometimes even close fatalities. Remember petr.cech. Bad head injury,could have died. Tunde charity of blessed memory. Head injury from contesting a ball in game , dead three days later.

...Boxing, UFC, Slapping and a lot of "combat sports" are not really sports. The so-called entertainment is in people's inordinate craving for gore... Just like the gladiators in the colliseum in ancient times... With people yelling in delight as people hurt each other and the blood flows...

You couldn't have put it any better! Thanks.

He must have received a blow to the part of the head that caused internal bleeding.

Boxing is even manageable. You see that UFC? Na evil. I had to kill my appetite for that shit. I used to like it en. A time came, I knew something was not just right about watching this all the time. Back then, I could watch UFC instead of a football match. grin

UFC can be very bloody. Some of the matches are in fact blood feasts. There is hardly no UFC match where blood does not flow. It's a satanic game. sad

Is that enough to cause fatality?

Don't say what you don't know oga. Check the stories of Robert Atherly, James Gordon, Ismail Khalfan, Choirul Huda, Herman Tsinga, Alexander Shishmarev, Taufik Ramsyah, Irvin Kwaku Esoun, Wassim Djezzar, Kaylen Denis and Guo Jiaxuan who died this year.
All died as a result of injuries on the pitch. The way una dey confidently bask in ignorance eh! cheesy

whilst you are waiting for them to ban boxing, best to be on your guard, cause you are currently in a society that is so evil so mad so blood thirsty boxing to death is an international sport.

But boxing is not nearly as deadly as MMA, by as much as leg is stronger than hand muscles, since mma is both hands and legs, there has been a string of deaths in both sports lately , more than usual.

Dont throw the data away with the bath water , just because death match is now a legal sport.
Cause if you find yourself living in world so gothic, that death match is legal, you know you well deep into some biblical times, and the average human being is probably a zombie of the Apocalypse most defo those bloody enough to watch death match as form of entertainment.

Its the sort of date that can be useful when you consider what your level of exposure to society is , sort of like an eternal traders' risk assessment.

Its going just like in the movies, the movies, its the movies

While at it, also reel out the list of boxers who died owing to head injuries and those who became vegetables even if they remain unsung.

But people collapse and die on football fields too. Should football also be banned for good?

Do you mind people that just open mouth talk anyhow, death is everywhere and for all I know it's matter of time.

Where are the “boxing is easy. It is just to collect punches to the face and millions afterward” crowd? Them don silent. The man was a champion, all we could get for identification were two obscured pictures? See how Nigeria does not respect heroes in any way, shape or form.
