title: Boxing clever.
abstract: Debates about banning boxing crop up regularly. Organisations representing nurses, such as the RCN and Unison, have generally steered clear of a formal position on the subject, however the British Medical Association favours a total ban. Its arguments concentrate on the possible adverse medical consequences, but ignore sociological, cultural and alternative ethical viewpoints.
