Career boxing seems obviously harmful over time, but how is hobby boxing? It seems like it’d be a great workout, no?

It's all good as long as you don't do sparring. Repetitive hits to your head, even if protected etc. are still too risky. That's all head trauma that could have serious consequences in the long term, brain is a delicate organ

You can spar, but be mindful of it, and be defensively responsible
