List of deaths due to injuries sustained in boxing


In 1995, it was estimated that approximately 500 boxers had died from boxing injuries since the introduction of the Marquess of [Queensberry Rules] in 1884. Twenty-two boxers died in 1953 alone.
The list is incomplete; many other boxers not listed here have died as a consequence of injuries sustained in a contest.
