“白领拳击”成健身新潮流

都市白领们常常提到的健身方式通常是跑步、打球或瑜伽，现在，有一部分白领有了一个稍显重口味的健身和减压方式——拳击。有些人最初只是观众，后来干脆加入其中，与同是白领的其他选手“拳打脚踢”。

A group of 22 working professionals fought in a charity white-collar boxing in Beijing last week, and 49-year-old Tomas Ermolaev from Russia was the oldest player.

上周，22名职场专业人士在北京参加了一场慈善白领拳击赛，49岁的俄罗斯人托马斯•艾莫拉夫是其中年龄最大的一位。

白领拳击（white-collar boxing）在近两年成为都市白领健身（work out）和减压（reduce stress）的新方式，他们举办的比赛自然属于业余拳击比赛（amateur boxing）。
