An English female boxer has been banned before she started – due to her breast implants.
From the Daily Mail: A model-turned-boxer has been banned from fighting – because of her breast implants. Sarah Blewden, 25, has been told that repeated blows to her false breasts could knock them out of shape and damage her breast tissue. She was stunned when she was told she wasn’t allowed to fight under Queensbury rules due to her implants.
A medical expert from the association said Sarah’s chest was at risk of ‘capsular contracture’ or distortion if they were repeatedly hit. Blood cells in the breast tissue pushed forward by the implants could also be harmed, it was ruled. Sarah, from Poole, Dorset, said: ‘I think it is just ridiculous. My surgeon said they make me no more vulnerable than any other woman. They are not enormous ones – they are in proportion.

This is a ridiculous ruling in my opinion, isn’t it obvious boxers can be injured in the ring? News reports range in exact numbers, but all say hundreds of people have died worldwide from boxing related injuries. So – it’s okay to get pummeled to death in the ring [literally] but maybe having a “boob pop” isn’t? Ludicrous.
Worst case scenario, she would have to get the implants redone same as wrestler Chyna did due to her wrestling.
