I mean a fighters head (or hitting it) is the main thing in boxing along with your fists so if it wasn't right why fucking stick him into a tough fight?
Footy players are rested if they get an injury to any part of their legs ffs..!

Bad management around him and seems tragically unprofessional to me.
It is a thought that I have had as well, but for me I suppose it does to some extent come down to the boxer themselves. If they are only going to tell their spouse, and not their trainer or manager, then it is difficult for those people to intercede on their behalf. Fighters that back out from bouts get a lot of stick, not just online, but in the areas where they were due to fight too. There is also the financial aspect of needing the money from the fight to support the family.
