Ten seconds and our boxer is down for the count. He's knocked out, but he'll get back on his feet eventually, right? No, he won't. He's crippled for life if he's not outright dead. You can stop applauding the victor now. Deaths like this might seldom happen in Real Life, but it's nonetheless Truth in Television, as demonstrated by the Real Life folder below. A form of Fatal Method Acting. Compare and contrast Blood Sport, where death or carnage is the intended outcome. A related trope is Deadly Sparring. Compare Spectator Casualty, where it's a spectator who gets accidentally killed by a competitor, and Take Me Out at the Ball Game, where a murder is committed within the audience at a sports event. Not to be confused with people who die in The Ring movies. As a Death Trope, several if not all spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

Champion, being a Biopic of Emile Griffith, includes the below-mentioned Real Life example of Griffith giving Benny Paret fatal injuries in a boxing match, which he is horrified about. It's suggested that he might have also died because he had a head injury from a previous fight that was never given time to heal. | |

Given the nature of DEATH BATTLE!, the fight between Balrog and T.J. Combo, while presented as a regular boxing match, had to end in one of these, with Balrog on the receiving end - a superpowered uppercut from T.J. ripped his head off. In fairness to T.J., Balrog was the first to both play dirty and turn it into a death fight by deciding he was going to murder T.J. for showing him up and rankling his pride. | |

In RWBY, fans knew that the rigged match-up between Penny and Pyrrha wouldn't end well, but the question was which girl would die. Ultimately, some manipulation by Emerald results in Pyrrha using a strong magnetic force to deflect what she thinks is hundreds of swords (but is really only a few), sending them flying back where the wires connecting them to Penny's body wrap around her and cut her into four pieces. Pyrrha, for her part, is horrified when she realizes what she's done, but she doesn't get much time to dwell on it, both because all hell breaks loose, and because she herself is killed by Cinder Fall later that night. | |

Used in the backstory of Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru. Ibuki Kengo's older brother Satoru, a martial arts genius, dies from intracranial hemorrhage due to the injuries he sustained in a match against an even greater Muay Thai fighter, Samart Sirinto. Ibuki Satoru had a cerebral arteriovenous malformation, a congenital disorder which placed him in great danger should he experience heavy head trauma, which had not been formally diagnosed before his death, but his fiancée believes that the medical examiners discovered it in his pre-fight medical examination and allowed him to fight anyway at the behest of the director of the fight promotion. | |

Dragon Ball: A consistent rule of the numerous Martial Arts Tournaments in the series is that killing your opponent is forbidden, and grounds for immediate disqualification. On a few occasions, the trope has been played with: In the original Dragon Ball, Goku refused to kill Piccolo Jr. because they were technically still in a Tournament match. Everyone else had ceased caring about the rules at this point (and in fact, the ring had been destroyed during the fighting), and are baffled that Goku is still thinking that way. In the Buu Arc of Dragon Ball Z, Videl is almost disqualified when she accidentally breaks Spopovitch's neck, making it appear that he has died. The match continues after Spopovitch stands up and rights his head, showing that he was unharmed. In Dragon Ball Super, when Goku uses a Spirit Bomb against Jiren in the Tournament of Power, Jiren deflects it back and it appears that Goku has died in the explosion. The Grand Priest rules that since it was Goku's own attack that killed him, this would be considered a form of "self-destruction" and Jiren would not be held responsible for the death. Naturally, it turns out that Goku barely survived the explosion anyway. The same reasoning is used later when several other fighters appear to self-destruct by their own energies, rather than their opponent's attack. This particularly includes Android #17 after he blows himself up to save Goku and Vegeta from being eliminated by Jiren. |

The 2008 film The Wrestler has an implied example of this right at the end when the main character wrestles with a fatal heart condition and takes one final plunge into the ring. Unusual in that his opponent isn't responsible for his death (even accidentally) and in fact tries to get him to end the match early once he realizes that he is not well. | |

Perro Aguayo Jr. died due to a neck injury at a The Clash event in 2015 after almost taking Rey Mysterio Jr.'s 619, the same 619 he had been doing nearly 300 days a year for a decade beforehand. Mysterio noticed something was wrong with Aguayo while doing the move and avoided hitting him; Aguayo had taken a dropkick in the back to the ropes to set it up immediately beforehand, which was the actual cause of the fatal injury. | |

After Dark, My Sweet: A trope that is already dark gets even darker. Flashbacks reveal that Kevin, once a pro boxer, sort of reverted to a bestial state during his last fight. He threw the referee aside and ripped his glove off with his teeth. Then, with his opponent already on his knees, Kevin beat the guy to death with his bare right hand. The fight caused him to have a mental breakdown and, as the movie begins, he has escaped from a mental institution. | |

A major plot point in The Quiet Man. John Wayne's character killed a man in the ring and swore off boxing forever. He also decides that money is simply not worth fighting over, after all, what good does it do to die or live with killing someone else over money? Because of this belief, he refuses to physically fight for the dowry his Irish wife should inherit, not fully understanding the importance of it to her as a symbol. If not for this, the cross-country donnybrook with his churlish brother-in-law would have probably happened in the first reel, instead of the finale. | |

Ip Man 2 has the Twister's fatal No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of Master Hung. Notable in that Hung absolutely knew what was going to happen. The ref calls off rounds multiple times when it appears the fight is becoming too one-sided and asks Hung if he's okay before letting it continue, and Ip even attempts to throw in the towel to save him, only for Hung to shoot him a silent look that basically says "no, let me die as a warrior." | |

Monk: The episode "Mr. Monk Takes a Punch" is about Monk taking the case of a bombing attempt against a professional boxer just weeks before his title fight. The intended victim narrowly avoids the bomb planted in his heavy bag at his boxing gym, a washed-up drunk accidentally killing himself on the booby-trapped bag instead. With him surviving, the hired contract killer tries to shoot him with a sniper rifle during the fight, but Monk manages to spot him in time and runs up to subdue him. The hitman is then fatally shot by Stottlemeyer and Disher when they get up to the box. | |

This happened to Professional Wrestling legend Mitsuharu Misawa after landing on his neck on an otherwise routine "backdrop" suplex, fatally injuring his spinal cord and suffering an in-ring heart attack at Pro Wrestling Noah. | |

In Dragon Ball Super, when Goku uses a Spirit Bomb against Jiren in the Tournament of Power, Jiren deflects it back and it appears that Goku has died in the explosion. The Grand Priest rules that since it was Goku's own attack that killed him, this would be considered a form of "self-destruction" and Jiren would not be held responsible for the death. Naturally, it turns out that Goku barely survived the explosion anyway. The same reasoning is used later when several other fighters appear to self-destruct by their own energies, rather than their opponent's attack. This particularly includes Android #17 after he blows himself up to save Goku and Vegeta from being eliminated by Jiren. | |

Happened in an episode of The Boondocks with a street fight between Grandad and Stinkmeaner, where the latter dies from his injuries. Grandad avoided jail time because Huey was smart enough to go get the fight licensed and approved by the state boxing commission first, which waives Grandad of legal consequence for the death. | |

Max Baer did, in fact, kill an opponent in the ring. However, contrary to his movie depiction in Cinderella Man, he felt really bad about it, and made amends to the man's family. Unlike the movie, which claims Baer had killed two men in the ring, this only happened once, although another opponent died in his next fight after fighting Baer, and apparently suffered from frequent headaches and other health woes after the bout with Baer. Those injuries led many people to attribute the man's death to the injuries he suffered against Baer. | |

The Saint story "The Masked Angel" has a boxer die in the ring while being beaten up by a rival, all of whose opponents have mysteriously fought very poorly. It is eventually revealed that the killer boxer's manager was applying a drug to the man's gloves without his knowledge that entered his opponents' bloodstreams when their skin was broken and sedated them. The death, however, is explicitly described as entirely due to physical injuries and not the drug. | |

The book Flash Forward, upon which the TV series was very loosely based, invokes this. One character who didn't have a flash-forward was told by someone who heard a report about his death that he had died in the ring, and he goes through the rest of his life wondering how that's going to happen since he's not really into boxing. Subverted in the end. Turns out it was the ring of the particle accelerator at the physics lab where he worked. Someone tried to sabotage it, he went in to try to stop them, and the man had a gun... | |

Ratings Games, the team arena combat used to settle disputes between devils in High School D×D, are designed to be as non-lethal as possible, but accidents can happen. Riser loudly boasts that he could finish off a weakened Issei and get away with it. He was bluffing, using Issei's life as leverage to make Rias surrender. Much later Issei, driven beyond reason by seeing his comrades picked off one by one, comes within milliseconds of atomizing Sairaorg's Queen in a single blow, stopped only by Sairaorg himself forcing his piece to retire. Issei shows no remorse in the aftermath, but Sairaorg doesn't hold a grudge — he was the one who requests the rules be relaxed to the point Issei could even use that much power. |

In 1956's The Harder They Fall, Humphrey Bogart's last film, Max Baer plays bloodthirsty boxer Buddy Brannen, a character based on himself. After another boxer dies in a match with Toro Moreno (whose character was based on Primo Carnera), Brannen is intent on proving that he, who badly injured the boxer in his previous match, is really responsible for the death. | |

Major. Goro's father Shigeharu was hit by a deadball from Joe Gibson in the head, at 160 km/h. Somehow he managed to get back up and continue playing, but the damage manifested the next morning, resulting in his death. Especially tragic given that the newspapers were all over talking about how he was the hero in the match and Goro didn't realize he was dead until he grabbed his hand and noticed that it was cold. | |

Hajime no Ippo: Subverted. While Randy Boy Sr. sustained fatal brain damage in his fight with Miyata's father, said damage didn't manifest itself until several days after Randy Sr's world championship fight. He didn't die in the ring per se, but the fight with Miyata Sr. caused his death nonetheless. Also subverted with Jinpachi Nekota, who was a victim of a "rabbit punch" that caused him punch drunk disease (see below), but that happened sixty years ago and he's still alive. He did have to retire, though. |

The Family Guy episode "Baby, You Knock Me Out" has Deirdre Jackson, a female boxer who killed three of her opponents in the ring and planned to make Lois her fourth. There's also a Cutaway Gag about "deaf boxing", where a boxer keeps pounding on his opponent despite the bell being struck multiple times, since, well, he's deaf. Apparently, this is a regular occurrence, as one of the fans comments that every fight ends in death. | |

Even as clean it is when it comes to portraying martial arts and street fighting, Street Fighter has this side to it as well. Balrog used to be in professional boxing until his ruthlessness got the better of him and killed one of his opponents. This got him banned from boxing and became an enforcer to Shadaloo. The titular Street Fighter tournaments are no holds barred, and even though outright death of the opponent is not allowed, participating in the tournaments is essentially going into an underworld style martial arts competition with a good amount of positive publicity on a world scale- Survival of the fittest and no mercy on the weak definitely comes to mind, and whatever happens in each fight is essentially the outcome, no more, no less. While there are plenty of good-natured and honorable fighters who participate, there are just as many morally dubious and even villainous and bloodthirsty fighters who enter in seeking the title of World's Strongest as well, and this does not even count the martial art or discipline they will wield, be it styles rooted back in assassination or even raw merciless pragmatism. It also doesn't help that the tournaments and events of the series are also an opening for meeting grounds with those of rivalries rooted in bad blood, and to where the hosts of these tournaments are criminal organizations and probably have something more sinister in store with these events, making them truly a death-defying competition where only the best of the best can thrive in its intensity. |
