Boxing injuries are different from other sports injuries because most of them result from blows to the head, which are generally considered illegal in other sports. Boxing injuries are especially common among professional boxers. Amateur boxers don't suffer the amount or severity of head injuries that professional boxers do. Professional boxers accept blows to the head and accompanying injuries as just "part of the game." Cuts, bruises, repeated blows, and falls are all injuries that one may anticipate when entering the ring.
As a result, boxers often suffer brain damage. When a boxer is knocked out, he has generally suffered a concussion. Over time, multiple punches to the head can cause a case of "punch drunkenness" in a fighter who exhibits signs of inhibited thinking ability, headaches, blurred vision, or memory loss. In more serious cases, a boxer can be killed by a blow to the head, or suffer a lifetime of disability and diminished capacity due to brain damage.
