Charlie Webster will make TV history this weekend by becoming the first woman to present coverage of a world title boxing bout. The Sky Sports News presenter and amateur boxer will host Eurosport’s broadcast of Wladimir Klitschko’s heavyweight title defence against Samoan challenger Alex Leapai in Oberhausen, Germany.
Although Webster, who is also known for her long-distance runs for charity, has previously been a pundit and a ringside reporter at boxing events, but this is the first time she has anchored a live broadcast. “I’m really proud to be the first woman to present a big night of boxing,” Webster told Sportsmail. “Traditionally, boxing has been such a male dominated sport and that’s been the same in broadcasting. But that’s changing,” she added.
