Lady Boxers RuleJahongir Usmanov an archivist working on the Kaplan collection had an interesting find.
The April 9, 1910 issue of Boxing, the oldest running newspaper on the subject of pugilism , had an interesting article. The title of the article was "A Lady Boxer" printed on page 111, and it talked about, you guessed it, female boxers. So, if you thought the the fair sex had only recently entered the square ring to show off their feathers, think again. Here's a proof that ladies have been punching each others mugs and guts since the early 1900s. Go Miss Britton!
