Should professional boxing be banned?

So we legalise crack dens? The use of heroin?
Most definitely.

Drug related crime and fatal overdoses will fall a hundred-fold as they did in Liverpool when heroin addicts were registered and prescribed clean heroin from government subsidised clinics.Blair put paid to that positive venture when he had an election coming up.
All drugs should be be legalised and the industry nationalised.
Booze - the most insidious and destructive of all drugs - is still championed as a man's right and is both openly and subliminally encouraged.

If you think that money is the only motivation for a boxer to fight you know less about the fight game than you realise

The actual % of boxers that earn anything near enough to live a good life on is tiny, yet men and women get in that ring for the love of what they do

Mike Towell was a Warrior it was in him a fighting man

He would have fought anyways anywhere

I'm not a lover of boxing in the slightest, but I'd rather die doing something I love, than die being prevented from doing it.

That's because it's harder for them to hold on while wearing those gloves.

That's not funny, that's how my uncle died.

He survived the fall but he swallowed his gumshield.
