In September 2007 the BMA updated its call for a ban on boxing to include other combat sports such as mixed martial arts fighting.
The BMA along with the Australian Medical Association believe that ‘international events based on the spirit of goodwill – such as Olympic and Commonwealth Games – are no place for interpersonal violence and injury’ and that ‘it's time to remove boxing from the sporting line-up’.
Boxing by men and women is equally unacceptable.
