Klitschko 'sick' over women's boxing- 22 Mar 2010 00:00:00
World heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko has controversially stated
that the the idea of women’s boxing at the Olympics makes him sick.
The
International Olympic Committee announced last August that women's
boxing would be included on the list of events for London in 2012, but
Klitschko said he would not be watching.
‘When I see two women
face to face in a boxing ring, it makes me feel nausea. I am not really
a fan of female boxing. This sport is appropriate for men, but not for
women.
‘I hope women will not take it badly; perhaps I am old or
conservative, but I consider there are sports much more beautiful for
women than boxing.’
Klitschko, whose brother Wladimir retained
his IBF and WBO titles by knocking out US challenger Eddie Chambers on
Saturday, will defend his WBC crown against Poland's Albert Sosnowski
in Gelsenkirchen on 29th May.
