Good idea
Do the upsides from boxing far outweigh the downsides.
Boxing offers several upsides, such as improved physical fitness, discipline, and mental resilience. It can enhance coordination, strength, and cardiovascular health. Additionally, boxing often fosters a sense of community and can boost confidence.
However, the downsides include the risk of injury, particularly to the head, and the potential for long-term health issues like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). There’s also the risk of overtraining and the mental stress that competition can bring.
Ultimately, whether the upsides outweigh the downsides depends on individual goals, risk tolerance, and the level of safety precautions taken.
Are there ways to improve physical fitness, discipline and mental resilience that don’t involve punching people
Absolutely! There are many effective ways to improve physical fitness, discipline, and mental resilience without boxing:
1. Fitness Activities:
• Running or Cycling: Great for cardiovascular health and endurance.
• Strength Training: Builds muscle and improves overall fitness.
• Yoga or Pilates: Enhances flexibility, strength, and mental focus.
2. Martial Arts:
• Karate, Judo, or Taekwondo: Focus on technique, discipline, and self-defense without the emphasis on punching.
3. Team Sports:
• Soccer, Basketball, or Volleyball: Foster teamwork, discipline, and physical fitness.
4. Mindfulness Practices:
• Meditation and Mindfulness: Strengthen mental resilience and focus.
5. Challenge-Based Activities:

6. Hiking or Rock Climbing:
• Promotes endurance, strength, and a connection with nature while pushing mental limits.
7. Martial Arts Without Contact:
• Aikido or Tai Chi: Focus on movement and mental discipline without sparring.
These alternatives can effectively build fitness, discipline, and resilience in a supportive and less combative environment. |  | | |

Ipswich based boxer who publicly supports ITFC and promotes the club on a world stage, comprehensively destroys the opponent who had the cheek to parade himself around in a Norwich shirt at Portman Road, and the reaction of the TWTD navel gazing club? Give him pelters. Embarrassing.
Some of you really are a very strange breed of bed wetting buffoons. Get fooked. |  |

Lads. Just get in a boxing gym for yourselves. Your mental health will see a significant improvement for one that’ll far exceed the dopamine hit you get on here from political point scoring. If you’re seriously worried about injury then it’s not for you but more people die from drowning each year than they do boxing. | | | |

You know some people don't grow up with football or with an association to a particular team from birth. I didn't become an ITFC fan until I was in my late teens, if you'd asked me before that I'd probably tell you I supported Liverpool as that's who my brother liked. Season ticket for 25 years now, do I not count as a fan?
The bloke clearly supports ITFC now, so I don't see what the problem is. Just gatekeeping piffle from those who have already decided they don't like him. | |

Just out of curiosity are there any other sports you consider 'vile'? |
So you would get rid of all combat sports? |  | | |

Unsure if you're asking me this. But if you are, imo it's just those which glorifies violence as I said. So if the combat sport does that then yes it shouldn't be broadcasted. |  |

Since 1874 there have been approximately 300 recorded deaths in football compared to nearly 500 boxing in almost the same amount of time. Doubt anyone would call football “vile” and “Neanderthal”. Just a lot of folk seeing men throwing punches and likening it to hooliganism as it’s the only comparable they have. | | | |

He is a boxer. He was front and center at a football celebration. He is a boxer. Did a footballer run into the arena and try to claim some of the credit for his achievements? If not, then this is a really, really silly post. He is a boxer, not a footballer. |  |

My mental health improved when I went to the gym.
The Gym.
I didn't need to bang a boxing bag. Punch anyone either.
BTW. No issue at all with boxing gyms in regards to boxing bags etc. My point is solely the hitting of an opponent, it's bizarre that that is still is thing let along a sport. Just pointless. | |

Lol. You actually trying to compare the two sports. Lol.
The types of tackles allowed now has changed therefore making the sport safer than It was, If an opponent elbows someone they will be sent off and banned. Etc
Football is also advertised as a technical game using your feet with the ball. And to get the ball you use your feet to get it.
It is not advertised nor is it glorified as a sport where the aim of the game is to hurt your opponent to get a result.
Boxing is still about hitting an opponent as hard as you can in the face in hope he gets knocked out. | |

MMA is huge now. Probably bigger than boxing. You can't just ban a combat sport because it's violent. | | | |

Yes you can and they should.
The world is evolving lots of things that were once seen as normal are no longer and rightfully so.
Sports that glorify violence is one of them. There's no place for them.

No you can't and they won't. Boxing etc is regulated. At every bout there's a doctor and ambulance on stand by. The fighters are given medicals and drug tests. You ban the sport(s) and it goes underground with none of the above. Now that is far far more dangerous. | | | |

Nobody has mentioned dying so why bother strawmanning so obviously? Chatting pure nonsense now.
The problem some of the higher thinkers have is one human beating the living poo-poo out of another and the institution glorifying and praising it.
Does that happen with any water based sports where these people you mentioned are drowning?
Not to mention drowning is probably accidental but death by boxing is likely not and is a result of the actual sport itself. | | | |

If it goes underground and people take part as you or maybe someone else said earlier. They have agreed to take part so that's on them. More fool them.
The difference is that it wouldn't be advertised. Wouldn't be broadcasted therefore not glorified to anyone.
Knife fights happen underground. Do you think they should be regulated? Doctors on standby., Ambulance waiting and advertised and broadcasted globally? That way at least it reduced the amount of underground fights? | |

Of course.
But cheering on people to punch others. Celebrating when one knocks out the other one. Celebrating injuries like last nights it's just vile imo.
In a world where violence is a problem I can't believe this day in we advertise and glorify violence as sport.
Appreciate there are many supporters of boxing so I'm not here to try and preach and change your minds about it. Just that not everyone is gonna be all gushy over wardley cracking a skull and walking away with his hands in the air. |
Are you linking a sport based on discipline, training, hard work and technical skill to random street thuggery?
I must have missed all the stories of elite boxers brawling on the streets. |  |

No. You've got it right.
They are well trained. Train hard. Disciplined. Some of the best physical peaks a person can get in regards to fitness levels.
But in a world where bullies still exist. Kids are easily manipulated and tbh even people of all ages can be manipulated with ease. It's wrong as I say that people are celebrating a man causing physical injury to a face of an opponent and causing a cracked skull of some form.
For all the training. The wonderful hours spent getting fit. It's a shame its purpose is to help them cause physical injury to their opponent. | |

I wouldn't personally no but it is to those involved.
But if you regulated it as you said. Have doctors on standby, ambulance there. Advertised it as a sport. Broadcasted it like a sport then yes it would be known as a global sport. Just like boxing.
But likewise to me, boxing isn't a sport. It's two blokes punching each other looking to cause more damage to the other and if done better than the other. causing such a blow that it finishes the belt early and the opponent isn't able to continue.

Nobody celebrated anyone getting physically injured. You've made that up. People were concerned for Clarke. What people celebrated was Wardley winning. | | | |
