都市白領們常常提到的健身方式通常是跑步、打球或瑜伽，現在，有一部分白領有了一個稍顯重口味的健身和減壓方式——拳擊。有些人最初只是觀眾，后來干脆加入其中，與同是白領的其他選手“拳打腳踢”。

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名職場專業人士在北京參加了一場慈善白領拳擊賽，49歲的俄羅斯人托馬斯?艾莫拉夫是其中年齡最大的一位。

白領拳擊（white-collar boxing）在近兩年成為都市白領健身（work out）和減壓（reduce stress）的新方式，他們舉辦的比賽自然屬于業余拳擊比賽（amateur boxing）。
