Epilepsy and Boxing

[bsoates]

Hello,
I am an nineteen year old male interested in competing in amateur boxing. Three years ago, I had two tonic clonic seizures from unknown causes and was diagnosed with epilepsy. I had many neurological tests done and it was determined that my seizures were NOT a result of a head injury (my EEG tests were also normal). Without any hesitation, I was allowed to continue playing football for the rest of my high school career. Since my seizures, I have been put on Keppra and have been completely seizure free. My question is whether or not it would be alright for me to compete in amateur boxing; more specifically, is there any evidence that blows to the head/concussions could aggravate my disorder or make it worse?
