Heavyweight soothes fists with wet nappies
Wednesday, 15 October 2008 17:58Vitali Klitschko used his son's wet nappies to keep his fists from swelling up after winning his WBC heavyweight title bout against Nigeria's Samuel Peter, the Ukrainian boxer told a German newspaper this week.
Mr Klitschko said he wrapped them around his hands and it helped him recover.
'Baby wee is good because it's pure, doesn't contain toxins and doesn't smell,' the 37-year old boxer told Bild after he won back the WBC title on Saturday.

'I wrap nappies filled with my three-year-old son Max's wee around my fists,' he said, adding he got the idea from his grandmother. 'The nappies hold the liquid and the swelling stays down.'
Mr Klitschko said Mr Peter should try the nappy trick as well.
