I got punched in the chest during a boxing match and i still have intense pain been to er twice and everything is normal, what about contusion of heart?

Wouldn't hurt: A cardiac contusion isn't painful but a fractured sternum is and i'll bet that's what you have - it just hasn't shown up on xray yet (it takes time ; a special xray technique to show it). I wish you well.
