Lauren Price 🥊

Can't watch Women's boxing I've no interest whatsoever.

Totally on same page. I like boxing, but it is very on the edge to what is right. I mean you’ve got two people knocking crap out of one another. There’s the part of you that loves it and there’s the part of you that thinks this isn’t right really.

But women? No sorry not for me. I don’t see this as a sexist opinion. Obviously it is considered so by many. But I’d see it more as protecting women from the violence that us men just are conditioned to. I don’t want Lauren Price being a role model for girls to beat the crap out of each other. Obviously a personal viewpoint, you can feel it’s perfectly fine and enjoy it. But I find it strange and I’ll never get it.

I have a strange relationship with boxing. It's fascinating on one level and, at the same time, a "sport" in which the aim is to give your opponent brain damage can't be right.
Men or women doesn't make any difference to me. Boxing authorities have a duty to ensure that mismatches don't occur because lives are literally at stake. Anyone who gets into a boxing ring is incredibly brave.

There's no difference to two men going toe to toe in the middle of the ring.

The world has moved on.
