Christy Halbert, a women’s boxing coach in the London 2012 Summer Olympics, said the sport still seeks to knock out inequality. Halbert said it took women’s boxing 108 years to join men’s boxing in the Olympic Games, and when it did in 2012 in London, those formulating the rules wanted different ones for the male and females. Halbert didn’t want different rules, but equality. This article is about the steps towards making boxing more equal between the genders. Being a woman boxer myself, I find this article very intriguing, and I would definitely want to be held to the same standards as men are in boxing.
