Should boxing be banned after Blackwell injury?

Nick Blackwell suffered a bleed on the brain and was placed in an induced coma following his fight with Chris Eubank Jr.

The doctor stopped the fight in round 10 on Saturday due to swelling over Blackwell’s left eye.

Former boxer Spencer Oliver claims the doctor’s intervention “probably saved his life”.

Some people have called for more safety measures in the sport, or even a ban, while others say the rules should be left alone as all fighters understand the risks.

We asked people in West Bridgford whether the sport, which became an Olympic event in 688 BC, should be scrapped.
