Khan's making noises about making Saudi Arabia into the new Vegas or Atlantic City. Like, a proper fight destination. Sure. Okay. Have fun with that.

I watch racing, which is unsafe enough that it's basically inevitable that someone will die regularly, but rationalizing it doesn't make it any easier. I hope his family has plenty of support. loving gutting to read about.

The only sport I can think of offhand that has a more regular amount of fatalities than boxing is motorcycle road racing, and specifically road courses vs closed circuits with run-off areas. There's at least one fatality per running of the Isle of Man TT, and I think the first year I started really following MotoGP, there were deaths at the NatWest 200 and Macau as well. Never mind that even at the premiere class levels, I can recall at least 3 deaths off the top of my head just since I started watching. Open wheel car racing is slightly safer, but F1 and the feeder classes have claimed several lives due to head trauma since 1994, and Indycar has seen multiple fatalities in the same span. And that's not counting spine injuries and amputations. Robert Wickens and Alex Zanardi are both competing even after horror crashes, and they're the lucky ones. But even with racing, it's not a steady decline into sponge brain, because the point of the sport is not repeated sub-to-fully-concussive blows to the brain and internal organs. I'm not trying to cast judgement. I'm just sharing what I know of another sport where I've had to come to terms with waking up in the middle of the night and wondering why I bother.
