Boxer's ears, also known as cauliflower ears, are a common condition amongst those who participate in combat sports. This condition occurs when the ear is repeatedly hit or rubbed, causing damage to the cartilage and leading to a deformed, lumpy appearance. There are a variety of synonyms used to describe this condition, including wrestler's ear, rugby ear, and pugilist's ear. Regardless of the term used, the result is the same - a disfigured and potentially painful ear that can affect a person's hearing and overall appearance. While this may be seen as a badge of honor in some combat sports circles, it is important to take preventative measures to avoid this condition altogether.
