Maybe. If they are large enough, they do run the risk of rupturing. The added contact of pugilistic combat could really do a number on them.

If you look at the bit about Busty Brazillian Sheyla Hershey, she'd be a bad candidate for boxing.

But for Sarah Blewden, she was going from a B cup to a C cup.

The reason the boxing group gave to ban here was the risk of "capsular contracture." I looked that up, it's essentially scar tissue that forms around the implant and envelops it. Bruising can increase the risk of this complication.

So, if the chest protector she was wearing would prevent bruising, then she'd be OK. If it's not foolproof, she could get complications.

Even so, to answer the question, should she be banned because of the implants, it's a tough one. Her risk of injury is higher due to her situation. I can see why promoters and officials would want to reduce liability and prevent her from competing. But I can also see why she'd want to compete. And I'm not sure that she could fully sign away her rights to seek compensation for damages.

So is it fair? No, not really, but the reasons behind the ban seem sound.
