Question 6

What are the challenges of being a Boxer?

Answer

Boxing is a sport that requires endless hard work. Boxers need to follow a different lifestyle, totally different from an ordinary person. The interest in this sport is diminishing day by day as all the attention and efforts go to other combat sports. Boxing is one of the sports that is looked down upon by societies because of its violent nature. There are too many championships and champions for the same position but under different sanctioning bodies such as WBO, WBC, WBA, IBF. Boxing these days is confined only to channels like HBO, Showtime, PPV, and sometimes occasionally on ESPN's Friday Night Fights. The major TV networks such as NBC or CBS hardly provides a platform for boxing to showcase its talents and matches. Boxing has failed in recent times that needs exposure in some of the popular sports channels. The problem should be solved to retain the talents in this industry and create a sense of enthusiasm among the potential boxers.
