At the closing of the 58th convention of the World Boxing Council, President Mauricio Sulaiman announced that as part of gender equality, the same belts will be awarded to champions of all genders. The first belt went to Jessica McCaskill, who defeated Cecilia Braekhus of Norway by unanimous decision in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
“It is the first belt given to a champion who does not have the inscription of ‘Woman.'” said Sulaiman. “The women asked for this equality, and now each of our champions will receive the same belt. The belt for them was smaller, with the design of a flower, details in pink, but now the belt will be exactly the same for all champions.”
Now in the name of gender equality, the men should demand equal two-minute rounds and equal ten round world championship fights.
Damn if you didn’t William Tell it, bullseye dead on center!!!!!!!!!
I get where you are coming from, but the women have been pushing for the three minute rounds. Its the boxing world who is pushing back on that. They have also been asking for 12 round matches and I believe a few have gotten them, but I agree with your core issue. Equality means the men and women should have the same rules in boxing. I’m waiting for some dumb ass to mention it wont be equal until they only wear trunks into the ring. I know somebody is going to say it.
I’d like to see female boxing outlawed.
I’m sure I wont agree, but why would you like to see female boxing outlawed?
Because it is an ugly spectacle. Womens’ bodies are not meant to be beaten on. It is a symptom of a degenerate society.
When I look at women boxers many of them look like they are half male, and some look like they are all male, and some actually are all male, deranged men pretending to be women!
McCaskill was “given” that victory over Breakhus thats a BS belt
Ok.
Great. Equal belts. Trunks also?
Hopefully and consequently the rounds then for them will be 3 minutes in the future
