Once I started fighting, there was no avoiding it. It literally gets shouted out in the arena. It gets the odd little chuckle from a few people from the crowd. At weigh-ins as well, especially at amateur (level), all the fighters are in the same room and they get called up. As soon as mine is called, it gets a few laughs.
The fighter also mentioned that he gets teased while waiting in the doctor's office. Despite this, he has no plans to change his name and aims to learn how to leverage it for publicity and attracting sponsors.
