Foxy boxing is a sports entertainment which involves two or more women's boxing (or pretending to do so) in a sexualized context as a form of erotic entertainment. The participants are typically dressed in revealing clothing such as bikinis or skintight leotards, while the actual fight usually focuses on the beauty of the combatants rather than fighting skills.
[edit] In Media and Popular Culture
The sport is frequently referenced in popular culture:
- Barney Stinson from the hit TV-show How I Met Your Mother is very fond of the sport.
- Homer Simpson on The Simpsons mentioned it twice: On the season six episode "Lisa on Ice", he tells Lisa that "if the Bible has taught us anything--and it hasn't--is that girls should stick to girls sports, such as hot-oil wrestling, foxy boxing, and such and such." Later, on the season 12 episode "Tennis the Menace", Homer builds a tennis court, only to learn that tennis is not the same as foxy boxing (or as he calls it, "the sport where the chicks wail on each other").
- The King of the Hill episode "Boxing Luanne" centered on Luanne Platter becoming a foxy boxer for Buck Strickland.
- On 30 Rock, Tracy Jordan says, "I love foxy boxing! It combines my two favorite things: boxing, and referees."
- Miami Vice season one episode 9 "Glades" contains a scene of two women foxy boxing approximately 9 minutes into the episode. The owner of the club promoting the event even refers directly to the sport stating, "Foxy Boxing is what's in now"
- In the final episode of the short-lived TV Series Freaks and Geeks, Seth Rogen's character Ken is thrown out of a disco club for causing a scene and making fun of disco music. As he's being escorted from the building, the bouncer at the disco club tells him not to worry too much because the disco will be shut down the following week in favor of foxy boxing.
