Absolutely yes. Boxing is something I hate to do but something that every man should be required to do at least once. It's not about the violence but about focus, discipline, and overcoming fear.

Do you suppose Paul used so many references to athletes who were training their bodies for no reason? I have had to do a number of things I didn't want to do but knew I had to overcome fear to do and discipline myself to do. It has a steeling effect upon the body and the mind. That kind of mental toughness is required in this world.

Now, some boxers are not too bright but that's a different story.
