Boxing in Skirts?

Yes, THAT should give lady boxing that sex appeal 

Boxing gloves, check. Headguard, check. Mouthguard, check. Miniskirt?

After winning a long fight to get into the Olympics, female boxers are at the center of a dress code debate ahead of the 2012 London Games, including whether they should wear skirts in the ring.

The International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA) said Friday that officials will meet in January to discuss the issue and draw up recommendations.

“AIBA is seeking a consensus from the worldwide boxing family and the wider public for reference purposes,” the statement said.

The federation said it was responding to recent media reports suggesting that female boxers would be forced to fight in skirts rather than shorts.

“AIBA has not made any final decision on boxers’ uniform for women,” the governing body said.
