Foxy boxing is a form of sports entertainment which involves two or more women 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.[1] Foxy boxing is unusual in that the audience generally does not care who wins. It is believed to have its roots in "singles' bars in southern California" after the interest in women's boxing began to decline in the late 1980s.[2]

The mainstream competitive sport of women's boxing has tried to avoid association with foxy boxing[3] but the successful female boxer Mia St. John emphasised her sexuality by appearing on the cover of Playboy magazine.[4]

It was a popular entertainment used in the Philippines for military men in the 1980s and 90s. It included both boxing and wrestling and the women were expected to "draw blood and show bruises before they got paid".[5] Foxy boxing was also utilized by bar owners in Thailand for the same type of audience.[6]

The style of fighting was formed into a new genre by David Borden, into what came to be known as Kaiju Big Battel, which was staged fights with a heavy tokusatsu and pop culture influence.[7]

Although foxy boxing is more of an entertainment spectacle than a sport, it has resulted in injuries. A foxy boxer at a high-end strip club in Rhode Island sued her employer after her silicone breast implants were ruptured in a fight. The class action suit ruled her employer liable.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}}

The sport is frequently referenced in popular culture:

  • Homer Simpson on The Simpsons mentioned it three times: In the season one episode "Homer's Night Out,"Foxy Boxing" is one of the places where Homer and Bart stop at in their quest for Princess Kashmir.[8] On the season six episode "Lisa on Ice", he tells Lisa that "if the Bible has taught us nothing else--and it hasn't--it's that girls should stick to girl sports, such as hot-oil wrestling, foxy boxing, and such and such."[9] 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 thinking she has taken up mainstream women's boxing, only to find she has been underwritten by Buck Strickland for foxy boxing.
