Where in the world is boxing banned?

[Kev]

I think the whole Middle East is more into racing camels and sand surfing. There's not much opportunity for fighting when the fighters and travelling fans have to trek across hundreds of miles of featurless desert to get to the venue only to find the ring has been deluged under 15 feet of sand during a sandstorm.

plus if your a crazed arab which is more entertaining, watching two guys fight with gloves according to strictly regulated rules, or watching a young woman stripped naked and stoned to death for having sex outside of marriage?

If they get there early and make to the front row they can even throw a few stones themselves. Much more fun.

Lol! Strange that with such a lage population Pakistan & India are not turning out top 100 boxers?

Well I think Amir Khan is of Pakistani descent, somewhere near there and he should be one of the best boxers in the world within a few years. The Yemen had Naseem as well.

I guess they just don't have the infrastructure in their home lands

I wanna add Omar Sheika

Sheika is not a top 100 fighter. He is an 'opponent' for the likes of Peter Manfredo.
