I understand that boxing and combat sports are hazardous activities that may lead to serious injury. In particular, successive blows to the head may lead to movement of the brain within the skull of a contestant, rupturing veins, and in rare cases, arteries. The resulting bleeding may lead to the formation of blood clots, causing pressure inside the skull, restricting the supply of oxygen to the brain and causing serious damage to the brain and even death. In seeking registration as a professional contestant I knowingly accept this risk.
