Maybe boxing and religion are the same things, really............
Take Christianity:
- you can take someone out with a right 'cross'
- you can 'rise again' by getting up before 10
- you have people in 'judgement' over your efforts
- the media will 'crucify' you at every opportunity
- listening to some fighters at press conferences reminds you the 'cock crows three times'
- fighters bandage their 'psalms'
- promoters lead fighters into 'damnation'
- instead of the local church, fighters pay sanctioning fees to alphabet boys for no good reason
Islam:
- you give 'alms' by using them to hit your opponent
- fans make a 'pilgrimage' to places like Madison Square Garden
- most fighters don't wait for death to deflower 1000 virgins, they F*** everything that moves right now
- you should not drink while training or eat unclean meat
Buddhism:
- reincarnation ...... look at all those 'comebacks' we get to see.
