In 1945, in a boxers ring in that year, there have been 340+ deaths, and that’s just inside the ring. In the future, even after the boxer quits, problems such as speech and walking complications occur. The language you try to say turns into what you could call a mumble and it gets very hard to understand , you could start to talk slower and also your reactions decrease. After time a disease known as Parkinson’s disease can come about and many up to 9 in a year have died from it.
Boxers say that the younger you start boxing the fitter you’ll get and better chance of winning. Yet that is wrong, throughout time they will notice not only to themselves but to others that their voices will decrease their voice-box could become damaged, also behaviour problems could cause complications and one time they might get thrown from the boxers ring due to over indulging in throwing punches that is causing severe damage or even death but they shouldn’t be in the ring at all if this sort of thing is happening. Their personality changes and this then relates to families suffering from the boxers getting hurt or worse killed.
In my opinion this sport is barbaric and it should not be encouraged towards young people it will ruin their lives. I have a few examples of famous boxers who have had trouble from boxing continuously, in their career. The start with Peter Waterman – who is a very well known boxer and is respected has been respected through-out his boxing career was left with sever slurred speech he also has what people call the “punch drunk effect “ but people now value him more now that he has pulled himself away from this savage and violent sport .
My next examples are people like Frank Bruno, and Muhammad Ali. After the years of boxing might start suffering from Parkinson’s disease which is when they’ll get physical shakes. Frank Bruno was last heard of entering a hospital for bad behaviour which is not at all good enough as this man is well treasured and incredible talented man and because of the boxing he also ruined his life.
Many Neurologists have done tests and all the information about Parkinson’s disease and brain damage is all very accurate. Until the boxer is tested for any medical injuries it makes the boxer unaware of any terrible life-threatening problems it is very hazardous. I urge you to recognise all my points and take in to account what risk you are putting your men at.
It cannot be denied that the RAF has not tried to ban boxing; they I believe tried to do this due to their men in the force using boxing to stay fit. Surely you don’t want to risk men in that force to die, which is exactly what you doing. By them getting pummelled they lose brain cells and start to get slow reflexes and react slower to emergencies, not very useful when they are flying an aircraft.
This sport is very easy to get carried away with; people who promote it don’t tell the truth to who wants to join. It boldly should not be encouraged and I beg you to ban it. The harm is not only done physically and mentally it is done to those who get hurt emotionally like their families. Experts insist that the suffering should stop before they are severely damaged or even dead.
The sport boxing has no objective to it, so earning a bit of money is worth having brain damage. If you call death a serious fun game then this civilised society should out law it immediately.
Of course apart from the problems such as Alzheimer disease etc there is chance that younger people that want to join boxing is going to be at risk that he has no further education, I believe this is not what you want and certainly not what the families and boxers want. You need to open your eyes and see what you are doing.
Mike Tyson has harmed many in his career and now his career has come to a halt due to his brutally and violent he now “bit” an ear form an innocent man. Please tell me what is this sport coming to? It’s BRUTAL. Tyson experts believe that he did what he did because of his behaviour problems and personality changes which had also led to commit a rape.
This is not a good experience for the younger people and I urge you to take in what I have said and notice that all is vital this country and the rest of the world need to realise, most people do realise but do you , you can help me ! And help the boxers stop this sport.
This is fatal to all and this is a phase which most boxers say they describe the sport as “the art of winning”, I didn’t realise that winning meant killing yourself. It should be “the art of killing “as it makes more sense.
Therefore I propose a ban on this disgraceful what you call a sport. I thank you for spending your little time reading his letter and I hope it will make a difference; please understand how I fell about boxing. I belie it is “barbaric” and I wish for it to be honest. I have many concerns for the current boxers and I urge you so much to make the correct decision on behalf of the current boxers and myself.
Yours Faithfully
