ABSTRACT
In order to judge to whatextent positive aspects can be found in boxing, positive aspects in boxing have been studied. Positive aspects include remuneration, fame and training, and in order to support the information, real cases of actual boxers like Mayweather Jr. have been shown. A part from this, information about the beneficial boxing trainings has been recruited. As regards fame, it has been concluded that althoughsometimes it is an incentive for the boxers, sometimes it happens that it turns into a negative thing. On the other hand, in order to support negative aspects such as injuries and exigencies, real images and studies have been exposed as well. It was proved that boxers hit harder than the normal people, and that to get hit continuously in a fight can cause damage in the brain, causing deteriorationin the area called pugilistic dementia. In addition, the exigencies that a professional boxer suffers as regards the almost obligatory devoting of time have been also studied. This also included the high chance of not having success.
The overall conclusion that was reached was that, although boxing has positive aspects as the healthy training, the remuneration when being at the top rankingand the fame, the negative aspects where considered of higher weight because the health and sometimes the life of the person is in risk when boxing professionally.
