    Pro Boxing ban lifted in Sweden


    In a former print factory on the outskirts of Malmo, a whistle blows and a dozen boxers, men and women, begin skipping furiously.

    They are all amateurs. Until this year, professional boxing was outlawed in Sweden.

    The combination of violence and money proved too much for pacifist politicians. Now the ban has been lifted, the Fox Club is part of Sweden's boxing revival.
