I was due to go on radio Kent last week because I do not think that women should do it.As you know I was boxing up to the age of 40 then went on to be a trainer of about 15years after that, so I think I know about the it some what.
Women should not box because (1)As a trainer you try to look after each of the boys and men it the Gym at all times but some times in boxing you can get a cut or even a broken nose it can not be helped,now if that happens to a man and it stays with him all his life and his face looks like a boxers face he can still get a lady to go out with him.But we know that does not work the other way round if a women marks her face bad or has a broken nose ,and you can start in the gym at the age of 11years old that your girl will have that for the rest of her life,at that age they think "Yes "lets have ago " but later in life they think again but it is to late then.
Also we must look at women have babys, now in boxing the best punch to do and it comes very hard to is a hook to the stomach now doing that to a young girl or women the damage could just stop her having a baby later on in life,some times in boxing the damage does not come out to some years later.They can do the training which if done the right way is very hard but good for both sexs but women in the ring is a no for me. When I had my own gym thanks to Mr Neil Rix,I was told by the K.A.B.A. Vic you must let young girls and women in your gym to box I said no to that and in the end I left. There is lots more I could write about but I think by now you can what I am trying to say.So I am sayingdo not let your young good looking girl box it not for them.and to the the ladys I say just think what it could do to you now and later on in life so please stay well away from boxing.
