do boxers still get their nose bone removed

[Sam Donald]

or is this a myth?

i used 2 hear about this a lot... is it true

For Froch it would require several surgeries.


Seriously,
Actually the nose is made up of cartilage and I have heard of a couple fighters that had cartilage removed. Randy "Tex" Cobb reportedly had his nose busted nearly every sparring session and during every fight and I heard he had surgery to remove the cartilage from his nose but reports of this happening are very rare. When a fighter takes time after a broken nose to let it heal properly and makes changes in his defence to prevent the injury from recurring this extreme shouldn't be needed.
Unless you are a fighter like Cobb who didn't take time to heal and had no need for defence.
