Vitali Klitschko used his son's wet diapers to keep his fists from swelling up after winning his WBC heavyweight title bout against Nigeria's Samuel Peter, the Ukrainian told a German newspaper on Tuesday.
Klitschko said he wrapped them around his hands and it helped him recover.
"Baby wee is good because it's pure, doesn't contain toxins and doesn't smell," the 37-year old boxer told Bild after he won back the WBC title on Saturday.
"I wrap nappies filled with my three-year-old son Max's wee around my fists," he said, adding he got the idea from his grandmother. "The nappies hold the liquid and the swelling stays down."
Klitschko said Peter should try the diaper trick as well.Vitali Klitschko used his son's wet diapers to keep his fists from swelling up... more

"If you have the need for special pants, you have the need for special boxer shorts."
Members of the St. James United Church of Christ in Michigan plan to take 150 boxer shorts to the altar Sunday for a blessing. The shorts have been modified for wounded veterans who wear bulky prosthetics or braces on their legs.
About 15 women at St. James replaced the shorts' side seams with a fabric fastener for easy access.
The boxers will go to an Ohio distribution center of Sew Much Comfort, a national volunteer group that adapts clothing for wounded troops.

"I never really liked fighting, but at 21 and getting very disillusioned with life, getting back into the ring seemed like the only way to try to achieve the American Dream." And a courageous effort it was. Up from obscurity to become Golden Gloves Champion knocking out all his opponents, the then 3rd ranked Cruiser-weight in the world moved up to the heavyweight division in 1990 and against all odds, to fight Evander Holyfield for the Heavyweight Championship.
When I first interviewed Seamus, I asked him to read Paul Simon's heartbreaking prose, "The Boxer", I was unprepared for what happens at the end and just grateful to have been there with my camera. This is the companion piece to "Shadow Boxer." "I never really liked fighting, but at 21 and getting very disillusioned with... more
