45,000 DEMAND FEMALE BOXERS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE THEIR DRESS IN THE RING
Posted on | January 16, 2012 | No Comments
Campaign on Change.org calls on Amateur International Boxing Association (AIBA) to drop recommendation that female boxers should wear skirts.
LONDON – As female boxing gets ready to debut at the Olympics, nearly 45,000 people have joined a campaign on Change.org demanding that female boxers be given the right to choose whether to wear shorts or skirts in the ring.
Last year, the Amateur International Boxing Association (IABA) suggested to its national federations that wearing skirts would make female athletes look “elegant” and help “distinguish” them from their male counterparts.
Women’s boxing will make its Olympics debut during the London 2012 games. On Wednesday, the Amateur International Boxing Association (AIBA) is meeting to discuss the games and draw up recommendations, including
suitable dress requirements.
Elizabeth Plank, a London-based amateur boxer, is leading the campaign on Change.org against the recommendation that women should wear skirts in the ring.
“I love boxing, it invigorates and animates every muscle and fragment of flesh in my body and I want to be judged on my skill, not what sex I am,” said Elizabeth. “This petition is not about a piece of fabric, it’s about athletes. It’s about their credibility.”
“If there’s one lesson I’ve learned through my experience as a boxer is that when someone throws a punch, curling up in the fetal position is not an option. You stand up and you fight. You don’t ask for power, you just take it. I hope lots of women will sign the petition before Wednesday and show the AIBA we’re not willing to throw in the towel before we’ve won the fight!”
Professional boxer Marianne Marston – who runs women’s boxing classes across London – is another supporter of the petition.
“I run women’s boxing classes 6 days a week. Most of these classes are for beginners and for many women, boxing not only increases their fitness and gives them new skills, it also boosts their self-confidence” said Marianne.
“Unfortunately it’s sometimes difficult for women to go into boxing gyms and be taken seriously. As soon as guys see women in make-up and revealing clothes then they begin to pay them unwanted attention. If female boxers are forced to wear feminine apparel then this will create more problems in gyms.”
“Prince Naseem Hamed boxed in skirts in the 90s, if professional male boxers can wear skirts then female boxers should be able to wear shorts. I choose to wear a skirt while boxing and that’s my decision to make. No-one should be forced to wear clothes that make them uncomfortable.”
“As soon as you start objectifying female athletes, then you’re basically reducing it to the level of a strip club. All female athletes should be judged by their sport, not by how much skin they have on show.”
The huge popularity of Elizabeth’s campaign is likely to increase pressure on the AIBA to drop the recommendation.
Brie Rogers Lowery, UK Director of Campaigns at Change.org, said Change.org is about empowering anyone, anywhere to demand action on the
issues that matter to them.
“It has been incredible to watch Elizabeth’s campaign take off,” said
Brie. “She has recruited women from around the world who share her anger
and she’s making the AIBA take notice.”

Coy called upon to face Lima
Posted on | January 14, 2012 | No Comments
New welterweight clash set for MFC 32
With several injuries to contend with, the Maximum Fighting Championship has made some swift and impressive changes to the lineup for MFC 32: Bitter Rivals taking place on Friday, January 27.
Most notably, rising sensation Dhiego “Maluco” Lima, recently ranked as the No. 2 welterweight prospect in the world by Bloody Elbow, has seen his opponent change due to an injury suffered by original foe Bruno Carvalho.
Lima (6-0) will now take on Nathan “Soulforce” Coy (9-4) in a featured matchup on the HDNet Fights live broadcast emanating from the Mayfield Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta.
Coy, a former All-American wrestler while at Oregon State University, has won four of his last six outings with three of those victories coming inside the first round. He has a total of five first-round stoppages over the course of his five-year career, and also holds notable decisions win over Rick Story and Mike Pierce.
The 33-year-old, who is originally from Portland, Oregon, and now fights out of Coconut Creek, Florida, has also tangled with notables Tyrone Woodley, losing a narrow split-decision, and Brian Foster.
Another switch to the main card was necessitated when hometown product Mukai Maromo suffered a broken finger in training. With Maromo sidelined, “Dirty” Dan Ring (5-0-1) maintains his spot on the card and James Haddad (4-1) jumps from the undercard to the televised card to battle Ring.
Haddad, who fights out of Calgary, Alberta, was slated to take on Curtis “The Demon” Demarce on the undercard. Demarce (12-10) will now face a soon-to-be named opponent. Ring, a Vancouver, B.C., product, moved into face Maromo after “The African Assassin” was originally tabbed to fight Adam Lynn.
Lineup for MFC 32: Bitter Rivals
Wilson Gouveia vs. Dwayne Lewis, light-heavyweight
Brian Cobb vs. Antonio McKee, MFC lightweight title
Diego Bautista vs. Ryan McGillivray, welterweight
Nathan Coy vs. Dhiego Lima, welterweight
Jamie Toney vs. Kyle Jackson, welterweight
James Haddad vs. Dan Ring, lightweight
Matt Jelly vs. Garrett Nybakken, lightweight
Brendan Kornberger vs. Allen Hope, middleweight
Curtis Demarce vs. TBA, lightweight
Tickets for MFC 32: Bitter Rivals are going fast, and are available exclusively through the MFC Ticket Hotline at (780) 504-2024.
