What caused the decline of boxing in Korea?
Do you think social and cultural factors have played a role in the decline of boxing in Korea as well?
Yes, it's possible. Traditionally, many Koreans did not view boxing as a respected or honorable profession, which could have affected the sport's popularity and participation rates. Additionally, the rise of other combat sports like taekwondo and mixed martial arts could have drawn away potential athletes and viewers from boxing.
