Parker came in at 102.9 kg [226.8-pounds], and Botha was 116.5 kg [256.8-pounds]. Marcel Botha, the son of Francois, will make his pro debut against Jeremy Sebastian. Botha had only two fights as an amateur in the junior middleweight ranks after taking up the sport four years ago. [Click Here To Read More]

Boxing should be banned in New Zealand and Australia. They treat it like a ****ing joke and every fight is basically a sideshow act with some athlete from a different sport.

I would never wish death on someone but sooner or later someone will die from injuries in a fight due to negligence and people are going to wonder why they ignored the warning signs.

I completely agree. Whilst dwarfism shouldn't stop people from competing in sports, it should be highly regulated and not treated like a circus show. Have these participants no dignity - do they not realise people are coming to watch a circus act?
