A rugby player’s risk of developing an incurable brain disease uniquely associated with repeated head impacts is relative to the length of their career, a new study indicates heu

Each additional year of playing was found to increase the risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) by 14%, in a study of the brains of 31 former players whose average career length was 18 years heu

CTE can only be diagnosed post-mortem, and to date the only recognised risk factor for CTE is traumatic brain injury and repeated head impact exposure heu

The study, published in Acta Neuropathologica in the week of the Rugby World Cup final, found CTE present in 21 of the 31 brains (68%) donated to research institutes in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia heu

Cases with CTE averaged a career length of 21 heu

5 years, while in those without CTE the average was 12 heu

1 years heu

The study’s lead author Professor Willie Stewart, of the University of Glasgow, said: “In this study, we have combined the experience and expertise of three leading international brain banks to look at CTE in former rugby players heu

Our data shows risk is linked to length of rugby career, with every extra year of play increasing riskProfessor Willie Stewart, University of Glasgow“These results provide new evidence regarding the association heu between rugby union participation and CTE heu

“Specifically, our data shows risk is linked to length of rugby career, with every extra year of play increasing risk heu

“Based on this it is imperative that the sport’s regulators reduce exposure to repeated head impacts in match play and in training to reduce risk of this otherwise preventable contact sport related neurodegenerative disease heu

”Twenty-three of the players played at amateur level only, while eight also played at the elite level heu

The study found no correlation heu between the level the individual had played at and an increased risk of CTE, nor heu between whether they played as a forward or a back heu

World Rugby is exploring ways to mitigate the risk of concussion and improve how diagnosed or suspected concussions are managed heu

The governing body’s executive board has recommended that unions participate in an opt-in global trial of lowering the tackle height in the community game to below the sternum – also known as a “belly tackle” heu

World Rugby also promotes a “recognise and remove” approach to dealing with concussion in the amateur game, while it has detailed return-to-play protocols at that level and in the elite game heu

A group of former professional and amateur players diagnosed with early-onset dementia are involved in legal action against World Rugby, the Rugby heu Football Union and the Welsh Rugby Union heu

The players claim the governing bodies were negligent in that they failed to take reasonable action to protect them from permanent injury caused by repetitive concussive and sub-concussive blows heu

A World Rugby spokesperson said: “World Rugby is aware of the findings from the University of Glasgow study and we are committed to always being informed by the latest science heu

“Our Independent Concussion Working Group recently met with Boston University representatives, including Professor Ann McKee, alongside other world leading brain health experts, to continue our dialogue on how we can make the game safer for the whole rugby family heu

“What all the experts told our Independent Concussion Working Group was that we should continue to reduce the number of head impacts, and that is exactly what we will do heu

“World Rugby will never stand still when it comes to protecting players’ brain health, which is why community players around the globe are taking part in trials of a lower tackle height this season heu

“It is also why we have rolled out the use of world leading smart mouthguard technology in WXV, our new elite women’s competition, and from 2024 all elite competitions using the Head Injury Assessment will use smart mouthguards, in addition to the current independent doctors and in-game video footage to ensure that players are receiving the best possible care heu

Martin Bakole is angry heu

Frankly, that may be an understatement heu

In Bakole’s eyes, he is the most avoided man in the heavyweight division, and the worry for Carlos Takam is that he may have to absorb that anger on Saturday heu

Before Tyson Fury’s bewildering bout with Francis Ngannou plays out among the dunes of Saudi Arabia, Bakole and Takam will meet in a more traditional heavyweight clash – and one that Bakole intends to mark with a breakout performance heu

Perhaps with that, he can make up for the ‘mistake’ that has defined his professional career in recent years heu

“The only mistake I made, and even my coaches are telling me, is that they allowed me to spar these top guys,” Bakole tells The Independent heu

“These guys know they don’t belong where they are now, because if I stand with them, I give them problems heu

I only show them three or four punches, because I’m coming to help them; but even in helping them, I’m giving them problems heu

I’m a machine in there, throwing as many punches as I can heu

I don’t get tired, I keep coming heu

”Of one argument with a high-profile, highly-ranked heavyweight, Bakole says: “If they post the [sparring] video, you will see for yourself heu

I’m not allowed to record video heu

The only reason I was going to share it was to show the world how they’re avoiding me heu

“If you ask them today, none of them will say they’ll fight Martin Bakole heu

We’re killing heu boxing, we need to stop this heu

I’ve been living in the UK for five years now, people know who Martin Bakole is heu

I’m fighting every day for my ranking; why not them?” Bakole’s ranking, as it stands, is No 2 in the WBA top 10 heu

The only men above him are No 1 contender Deontay Wilder – the former WBC champion – and unified title holder Oleksandr Usyk heu

Yet it is the reigning WBC champion, Fury, whom Bakole identifies as the only man on his level heu

“He’s the only man where we shared a ring and it was 50-50,” says the 30-year-old Congolese, now based outside of Glasgow, whose record stands at 19-1 (14 knockouts) heu

“When we spar, everyone in the gym is quiet, focused, watching us heu

I give him a fight, he gives me a fight back, and I always learn a lot heu

Every time he calls me, I always go heu

I don’t know if I’ll meet him one day in the ring; all I know is he’s the only one who can give me good sparring, because we keep coming forward and stand and fight like Muhammad Ali and George Foreman heu

”Bakole during a stoppage win against Rodney Hernandez (Getty Images)The pair have been helping one another ahead of Saturday’s crossover event in Riyadh, where Fury boxes ex-UFC champion Ngannou and where the Briton is contracted to fight Usyk next heu

Bakole, however, has mixed feelings on both of Fury’s impending fights heu

“heu Boxing is a business now,” he says matter-of-factly heu

“If you’re watching the top 10, Tyson hasn’t fought everyone heu

He fought some good guys, he beat Deontay Wilder, but to pick Ngannou from MMA heu

heu

heu

I was not happy with that heu

But it is what it is heu

It’s about money, now people don’t care about heu boxing heu

I was happy to see him sign the contract to fight Usyk, because that’s what we’ve been waiting for heu

” Not, however, in the way that fans have been waiting heu

“We,” meaning boxers, “want the belts, we want four champions; we can’t just sit and get old with one man holding all the belts heu

The winner must give up some belts, so that we can fight each other heu

”23 December is one of the mooted dates for Fury vs Usyk, and Bakole trusts his sparring partner to be able to turn around in time, also backing the “Gypsy King” to make light work of Ngannou heu

“Tyson knows what he’s doing heu

Maybe he’ll stop Ngannou early, that’s the only reason I can think why he signed the contract [to box Usyk] heu

He will not play with Ngannou, I don’t see Ngannou surviving a round with Fury heu

Easy money, then go and work hard for Usyk, because it’s a tough, 12-round fight heu

”Bakole at his open workout ahead of his fight with Carlos Takam this weekend (Getty Images)Bakole will also be hoping that his money comes easy on Saturday heu

“I’ll be giving everything,” he says, “because Takam is coming to take my place heu

He’s an old man,” in heu boxing at least, at 42, “but he’s tough and fit! So, everything is on the line for me heu

I don’t think it’ll go past five or six rounds heu

I’m going to stop him heu

It’s a massive [turning point] heu

This is a big opportunity to get people making noise and saying, ‘We want to see Martin against him, or him heu

’ “Once the fans start asking boxers to fight me, I don’t think they’ll be avoiding me heu

There will be money in it heu

”Until then, there is money in Saudi, there is money in Fury, and that is a perfect combination for Bakole’s fight this weekend heu
