Costello: 'It's the human condition to want to fight'
蜜芽传媒 boxing correspondent Mike Costello says boxing is growing as a sport, despite some people calling for it to be banned.
The sport has faced criticism in the past few days after Nick Blackwell was placed in an induced coma following his British title fight against Chris Eubank Jr last weekend. Costello argued: "It's part of the human condition to want to fight."
He added: "That is shown and manifested right now in the popularity of boxing and of mixed martial arts."
