I don’t even think boxing, MMA, or martial arts with weapons (HEMA, kendo) has as many deaths as football. Quick glance at Wikipedia says boxing had around 25 deaths…worldwide. Over the last decade. For adults.
Like people deliberately trying to hurt one another as the main purpose has less fatalities than the sport with a ball.

I think MMA has about 20 deaths since its inception. some were related to weight cutting.
