    Man vs Woman? "Mixed Double Boxing" Being Planned By AIBA For Gender Equality!

    It may or may not be man vs woman. Might instead be a tag team affair where it's man vs man round 1, woman vs woman round 2? The format is still unclear.



    New Competition Initiative Progress:
    In line with the intention to foster Gender Equality and the development of Women’s boxing, AIBA decided to develop a new competition concept called the “Mixed Double Boxing”, where both men and women will compete during the same match. It has been first approved by the EC Bureau and then by the Executive Committee, with the aim of launching the first competition next year.

    A Task Force Team has been appointed, led by AIBA Vice President, Mr Osvaldo Bisbal to develop the regulation and future competition system. The entire concept will be presented during the Congress.

    Progress on “Diversity In Boxing” Program (DIB):
    A total of USD 1.2 million has been budgeted to assist National Federations with regards to various programs. Already several application were approved by AIBA.

    In addition, the Executive Committee also agreed to provide the Caribbean region with financial support in order to develop boxing programs. A total amount of USD 300,000 will be provided over a three-year period.

      The world needs to be destroyed.....

      You wonder why religious extremism exists if the opposite of that is pants on head ******ed topsy-turvy crap like this. Just allow men and women to fight each other or not - easy choice. After a few chicks die of fractured skulls and brain hemorrhaging they'll get the point....I hope.

        Let it happen, just once. It'll teach them properly what a bad idea it was/is.

        Actually it doesn't seem to indicate men will actually fight women. it says some sort of "mixed doubles" - wtf is that? it sounds like a tag team match. That's even more ridiculous.

                Sanctioned violence?

                I really get sick of this overreaction. No, I don't think women are physically equal to men. But if they WANT to do it, let them. It's on them.

                Besides, I think some of the women might spark guys like Kristian Laight.
