    Default Re: Nick Blackwell also had headaches before Eubank Jnr - Calls for pre fight brain s

    The fighters won't have anything to do with a decision on it at all mate.

    The device im on about was used by the Russian Olympic boxing team this summer so it's already in use and being backed by the likes of McGuigan

    I've been banging on about this for ages and i do think it needs to and will be introduced into Boxing.

    Boxing authorities are evaluating a new handheld brain scanner that could be used by ringside doctors, Sky News understands.
    The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) is closely monitoring trials of the device being carried out by the London Air Ambulance, according to sources.
    The scanner can detect brain bleeds with an accuracy of 90%, often before any symptoms such as headaches or confusion become apparent.
    The authorities are under pressure to take every possible measure to improve safety following the death last month of Mike Towell.
