Fighting was once upon a time considered a noble sport. However slowly with time, the art of fighting as a sport, or in other words boxing started to grow flashier and more violent with the boxers emerging with the cigars and tattoos on their faces as a mark of their attitude that was to be feared. By the time, boxers have risen above being the most imposing sportsperson to being behaving almost like thugs.

No, this game is not safe for everyone. This can be an exciting sport if you know the techniques and rules of the game. This game can be dangerous if you are not aware of the rules and techniques. Play a real game only if you know both the defensive and attacking techniques. This game also requires good medical fitness so one should not think of boxing practice if he is suffering from serious diseases such as Asthma, Cancer, Kidney problems, and Heart problems etc. Medical fitness should be confirmed by a qualified doctor.
