" The BMA cannot comment on this programme. Generally, however, boxing is too often portrayed in a positive light, and as valuable for young people’s development. These programmes rarely deal with the harsh realities of the serious health consequences that follow. The media has a tendency to glamorise combat sports with mention of the dangers only in the wake of tragic events. Sadly, changes to the legal status of boxing are unlikely to come in the current climate. Public conscience and opinion is moved by tragedy, and so while there are no high profile injuries, the chronic and acute damage caused by boxing will continue. The BMA, and national medical associations in many other countries will continue to educate and inform the public of the reality of brain injury risks associated with boxing. If you are repeatedly struck on the head your brain will be injured. Where’s the sport in that? "
