    Seems to get used to describe these journeymen.I think its a bit offensive. some people cry over the word 'Afrobum' getting used but not this..

    it's a tiny nation.. there's more people living in the West Midlands alone than Latvia.

    Most of their boxers have only been in a gym for 6 months before they are thrown into fights around Europe against prospects.

    Pregnant Latvian is fine. Can't see anything offensive there.

    Putting a pregnant Latvian into a boxing ring to be punched would be decidedly politically incorrect though.
