There Will Be No Boxing Match Between Slovak Politicians, It Will Return to Debate

A challenge by two politicians to a boxing match has garnered a lot of attention in Slovakia, but in the end, nothing will come of it. The two politicians will probably just have a classic political discussion in the media.

Dávid Dej from Progresívne Slovenska challenged Milan Mazurek from Republika to a boxing match. He accepted the challenge. Several young Slovaks have mixed feelings about this form of communication between politicians.

After strong criticism, PS MP Dávid Dej called off a boxing match with MEP Milan Mazurek from the Republika movement and reformulated the challenge to just a debate ring instead of a boxing ring. Why politicians do this and what history do physical fights between politicians, sometimes to the death, have, political scientist Branislav Kováčik will explain in today's podcast.

The challenge was accepted, the fight may take place as early as June.
