The WBC president defends the organization's stance on women's boxing, emphasizing their support for women's boxing since 2004. Joey Barton, a former footballer, made sexist comments, claiming women shouldn't commentate on men's football. Barton's views were criticized, with Bianca Westwood calling him out on a Piers Morgan interview. Despite backlash, Barton doubled down on his stance in the interview, blaming a 'woke agenda' and denying sexism.

I see Joey Barton following the trodden path. Say a thing nobody of significant profile would have said publicly even a couple of years ago, generate outrage, drive headlines, get invited on telly to discuss outrage, be unwanted by brands/employers, claim you’ve been cancelled.
Let's not give Joey Barton any more oxygen. Let's instead breathe life back into this Lethal Bizzle tweet after Barton was stripped of the QPR captaincy following his stamp on Sergio Aguero in 2012. https://t.co/5ONOjIrwMm
Think we can all see the path here: 'Straight Talking with Joey Barton' on Rumble, championed by Laurence Fox, an episode where he interviews Jamie Tandy & they smoke cigars, the diminishing returns of him shitting himself for attention, he never works in football again.
Joey Barton shares a series of sexist posts on social media as he claims women 'shouldn't be talking about the men's game' and that men who listen to them 'need their heads testing' https://t.co/jTCTtKAwTm https://t.co/s8G3ubVTMR
The WBC believes in choice, which is why we chose to support women’s boxing when no one else did since the late ninety´s. The WBC chose to initiate Women’s World Championship’s back in 2004. We chose to use our entire platform to bring women’s boxing to the level it is today… https://t.co/sZMGnyp16N
