Edited by Tom-the-eagle (06 Nov 2019 9.27pm) Boxing and Football are the same for me. Love men’s boxing/football , domestic, world level watch loads of it. Women’s boxing/football , not for me. Good luck to Nicola Adams, always thought she came across well. Don’t want her replacing any of the male boxing commentators though , like the football has gone.

The truth is it's not even close when it comes to most popular sports with women....it varies country to country but volleyball and/or its variants are usually found near the top. It's hard to find surveys on the popularity of boxing with women.....Mmmmm...I wonder why that is. However what I did find was evidence that men prefer sport to women all over the world and spend a significantly more of their leisure time doing it.
