I recently wrote about The Boxer’s Child Paradox, where boxers value the resilience and toughness cultivated in their harsh upbringings but don’t want their children to go through what they did. There is another aspect of boxing, which applies to a subset of people generally, that I have also found fascinating and one I think we need to take seriously as a society.
Good piece, and something I haven't seen discussed befoee. What one person is capable of, we all are, in theory. Understanding violence rather than demonising it, is a harder task. But helps us all avoid the same mistakes over and over again when it comes to punishments and helping people function in society.
