CONTENTION – Shouldn’t be banned
Recently there has been a debate on whether or not boxing should be banned. There are people who agree with the idea of boxing being banned and claim that it is dangerous and life threatening. However, there are others who disagree and argue that there are more dangerous sports. This issue could lead to unexpected consequences, such as boxers having brain injuries.

Without that money, they wouldn’t have the money needed to pay bills, pay taxes, pay fees, pay for food or even afford to stay in a house. Banning the boxing industry will cause pain and stress to those people that have familys.
However, there are those who believe that it is dangerous sport because it influences’ children and how they act.

Therefore it is not the boxers fault that children are watching boxers, some parents want children to do boxing for self-defence, so why blame boxing for it?
The sport boxing, is known worldwide, and played worldwide. So if you were to ban it, it would not only go ‘underground,’ but it would cause more deaths and injuries without the medical
