It's about informed consent, though, I don't think anyone at this point getting involved in boxing is unaware of these risks... and the risk is only to themselves (and those they are fighting, who also know the same). I guess I'd compare it to choosing to ride a motorbike? That's also very risky compared to driving a car, but that doesn't mean it should be banned... people choosing it are aware of the risks.
