“Wearing a Hijab, a Young Muslim Boxer Enters the Ring”

I’m not a big boxing fan, let alone a fan of women boxing.  I’m troubled, even repulsed, by the idea of people training their bodies to near-perfection (in terms not only of strength, but endurance, agility, and so forth) and then going into a ring where the unavoidable consequence (if not the actual goal) is damage to those bodies.  (I also dislike tattoos for analogous reasons — reasons that long predate the Church’s counsel against getting them.)

That said, though, I rather admire this young woman, and I wish her well:
