I was boxing a few weeks ago, and I got hit on my nose. My nose got swollen, and now I can only breathe from my right nostril. I can only breathe in very little from my left nostril. But when I exercise, I can breathe better from both nostrils. My nose has always been a little crooked, and it looks different from every angle. I also have a bump on my nose. Is it possible that I have a deviated septum? Can I still box with a deviated septum? Should I have Rhinoplasty / Septoplasty for this?
What you describe is typical of a deviated septum. It also sounds like you broke your nose when boxing. Certainly you can box with a deviated septum, but your breathing may be compromised. However don't have any corrective nasal surgery until you give up the sport. Believe me, I know.
