I have only just found this thread..(on here)..totally missed it. It is very sad when a person loses their life participating in a sport they love. Nothing can ease that pain. The sport is well regulated, and the Boxer's are highly trained athletes with full understanding of the risk's involved. The Boxer's I associate with are just very ordinary young guy's. They have no attitude and are very respectful, no one could ever pick them for a Boxer outside of the ring. They have not one mark on them.Calling for a ban is just a typical kneejerk reaction, usually from people with no connection with Boxing. Will they ban all other risky sport's?? Skydiving..motorsport..all football??
