Why do boxers use Vaseline before a fight?

Before a fight starts, a boxer will usually have Vaseline dabbed onto their face to protect themselves.

It will not decrease the pain, but it can stop punches from connecting properly because it causes the skin to be very ‘slippery’.

The cutman in the corner will usually apply it to the nose, lips, cheekbones, jawbone and beneath the eyebrows.

Why do boxers use Vaseline during a fight?

Most boxers will find themselves battered and bleeding after a few rounds in the ring.

Vaseline mixed with coagulant can be applied to the open wounds to limit the amount of blood that is lost.

The coagulant slows the bleeding and the Vaseline protects the damaged area.

If a boxer’s nose is bleeding, the cutman will usually put a dab of Vaseline up it to limit the bleeding.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
