It’s clear that the Bible condemns violence. Professional boxing, which we tend to view as mere sports, is undoubtedly, a form of violence.

Many Christian denominations preach against that. However, more and more modern, liberal, international churches now portray successful professional boxing as a blessing from God. I’ve seen such evidence in a European church, pastored by a Nigerian, and an American Christian program, anchored by a Nigerian.

Let’s face it, boxers legally hurt each other while fighting. You hit someone. The injuries could even be more serious than imagined.

Is boxing a harmless fun in God’s eyes? Can Christians engage in it and remain born again? Please what’s your viewpoint?
