Binghamton student dies after dorm boxing match

Binghamton U logoMaybe it’s not a great idea to start your own fight club: A Binghamton University student died on Sunday after he was injured in a “consensual” dorm boxing match, according to news reports and the university’s press release. Although the 18-year-old student, Anders Uwadinobi, was wearing head gear and gloves, he was apparently surrounded by a number of people who were watching the fight. The university has said they do not think the boxing match “was a regular occurrence.” Duh. The first AND second rules of Fight Club are you DO NOT talk about fight club. Seriously, though, it sounds like a really tragic accident. Maybe next time you guys over there should just play with foam swords. They’re not nearly as cool, but you can’t kill anyone with them.
