In recent years CTE has received a massive amount of press with it being linked to a huge range psychiatric effects, most notably suicide in American football players and the Aaron Hernandez murder case.,

Scientists are now saying the media attention it is receiving is doing more harm than good. Suicides have been reported amongst people who have miss self diagnosed with CTE despite having a treatable condition.

CTE is also not the only brain disease.

It should still be a big concern though for anyone involved in boxing training. Good to keep sparring as constructive as possible in my opinion.
