Tony Hawk couldn’t believe what Tyson said
Playing physical sports tends to have more risks of getting injured. Skateboarding and boxing both have enough chances to get an athlete injured. Moreover, when it comes to concussions, anybody would say boxers have a higher chance of getting more concussions than a skateboarder. And boxing is a combat sport which naturally is more dangerous.
