From my blog - www.sjmontemayor.com:
And the award for Most Disturbing Boxing Tale Not Starring Mike Tyson goes to: Vitali Klitschko. The 37-year-old Ukranian heavyweight returned from a three-year hiatus to dispatch Samuel Peter last Saturday and regain the WBC championship.
That story would've been good enough to whet the appetite of boxing plans, but nooo ESPN just had to keep Klitschko in the headlines and tell us all about how he managed to gain the upper hand:
"Vitali Klitschko used his son's wet, used 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 they 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 with a technical knockout on Saturday.
"I wrap nappies filled with my 3-year-old son Max's wee around my fists," Klitschko said, adding that he got the idea from his grandmother. "The nappies hold the liquid and the swelling stays down."
Ye gods! Somewhere
