Some very tragic news has been confirmed in the sport of boxing at the moment coming out of Japan where not one but two deaths have occurred.
One death for an active professional boxer is so far these days but to have two on the same night is nearly unheard of these days.
Standards of health and safety, medical advise and sports science have improved so much over the years that this does not happen.
But professional boxing like all contact sports whether NFL, UFC, NBA or NHL does occasionally carry severe risks.
