Brain damage happens if you fight concussed, you’re gonna get hit reguardless so you gotta take the risk if you want to box.
Brain Damage

No, definitely don't do it, seriously. Look after your brain as best as you can. I have brain damage from boxing and it's ruined my life. Even before it got to that stage I easily noticed that my brain wasn't working as well as it used to.
Learn the techniques and get fit if you like and maybe do very light or no contact sparring. Just don't let it go beyond that.Comment

no headguards in the ams in uk anymorei highly highly doubt that university boxing with headguards on is going to do you any long term damage. Pro boxers are sparring every day and the difference is they are getting hit by professionals who, no disrespect to uni boxers, are hitting about 10x harder. Most of the top boxers in the game havent shown any signs of slurring speech or losing there mental sharpness, think of someone like david haye for example, hes pretty sharp mentally and articulate and hes been fighting every day since he was a kid, taking shots off of cruiserweights and heavyweights. Freak accidents can occur but thats the same with any sport, i know of a person who died playing cricket by clashing into someones knee when they both tried to catch the ball.Comment
