The 'sweet science' of boxing looking into spit science
Reading now: 691
The “sweet science” may adopt a bit of spit science under a plan to protect itself from the coronavirus when boxing resumes in Britain, possibly in July.
The head of the British Boxing Board of Control said Wednesday the body was working on an "apparatus” that would allow fighters to safely spit out water as they catch their breath between rounds.
It's among dozens of protective measures under discussion. Fighters would have to wear a face mask until inside the ring, while trainers and the referee would wear masks throughout bouts.
No fans would be allowed. Testing protocols would be in place. The five-page plan distributed to British promoters drew immediate attention for one line in particular: “No spitting from Boxers when in corners.”
