“Boxing left me with aftereffects. While I sleep, my jaw dislocates. Biting, I can’t bite either”, confessed the former Argentine boxer Sergio “Maravilla” Martínez.
“My hand is wrecked and my finger is even worse. I am fighting to avoid mental deterioration. I never stop writing, I never stop reading. I have never tried a glass of alcohol or cigarettes”.
Boxing is a very physically demanding sport, but no one warns about the consequences it will have as one grows older. Only now are we more aware of its aftereffects.
