Women boxers need to look "elegant", they need to wear skirts!

I don't understand how anyone can jump to the conclusion that this is about male lust. It could just be a matter of differentiating the women's side of the sport. It could simply be a matter of adding some femininity to the sport.
Besides, the Women's Commission of AIBA has 13 female commissioners, and only 2 male commissioners.

Nothing. That's why I mentioned "adding some femininity to the sport." If women are going to get into it, it makes sense.

Women are already into boxing. Have been for decades. What in the world difference would adding skirts to their attire make?

The way I see it, it AIBA's way of stepping up the ladies' game, and the image of women's boxing. Now that they're going Olympic, the visibility women's boxing will get a huge boost. Seems like a good idea from a branding perspective to me.
