Scott Westgarth was the winner of the fight and suffered from a bleeding in his brain. This is the risks that happen from boxing. His brother Adam decided to take matters into his own hands and said a lot of things to the commission and to the news agency about this.
Adam believes that actions could have been taken sooner than ever, if he was scanned straight after the fight then he could have been saved. “£14,000 cost of a scanner was a small price to pay when it comes to saving boxers’ lives” said Adam. This is a huge price to pay and could be avoided after his brain was scanned, he could have been rushed to hospital. After this incident, there will need to be some actions taken since there are a lot of dangers when fighting in boxing.
Scanners could be taken into the ring after a fight to ensure the fighters safety. This could be a huge step up in the world of boxing and UFC if they implement this into UFC as well. This is a huge thing for the boxer’s brother to be doing. Scanners could help… what do you think?
