Can a boxer get a restroom break?

[Pavlik]

Is it possible to use the restroom if a fighter has the runs in the middle of a fight? I mean seriously if he was winning but he really needs to go.

[Kel]

Never heard of anything like it my life so I would reckon no. You don't see tennis players sprinting off the court mid game or footballers with a turtles head shooting off.

At the end of the day these are athletes, not people off for a day out in Blackpool.

I'm sure there was a fighter (McCall? Six-Heads Lewis?) who was DQ'd because they said they had to leave the ring to take a shit.

[OumaFan]

Yes its the Six Heads Lewis rule. Great nickname by the way, better nickname than fighter.

They need one.Saw a guy years ago shit himself after getting hit by Jorge L Gonzalez..."ben smith" lol on live tv.He just sort of lay there on his side and corner wrapped him in a towel,he was doing the ooopsy walk,all contorted and some guys in aisle were laughing at him as he woddled to the back.Nasty

wasn't that one of Durans late excuses as to why he quit vs Leonard.Not in so many words haa

I remember the towel guy! Gonna look for a video

I think it is fairly rare because nerves usually takes care of that problem. Before a match most fighters do about 50 piss and shit breaks to the point of going there thinking you have to and just standing there, again, and again, and...

I recon a couple would of been on the shiiter for a whole day prior to facing Iron Mike in his day.

Never heard of it for boxing, Tennis players can have a break though. I think it is taken out of the injury time they are allowed.

Only if he shits himself !

They shouldn't need one anyway. It's only 3 quarters of an hour of action. Do your business before and wait till after to go again.

it aint that simple.

I'm sure I have seen a fight where the guy ran off to take a toilet break. Cant for the life of me remember who it was.

Bruce Seldon's approach (against Mike Tyson) was different. He shit on himself in the ring, and took a disgraceful dive. The stunned (and nauseated) ref had no choice but to wave off the fight.

Actually with the gloves getting laced up and having to endure the American national anthem, I suppose the wait might be closer to 2 hours. I have trouble sitting through a film with a large coke for two hours, so a boxer might well have an issue on occasion too.

I have seen a piss break before, wasn't a break though, happened in the corner during the break between rounds and his Handlers circled him with towels and one got to know his fighter a little better then he expected too.
