Percentage of lefties

Hi Guys. I have a question, here. Does anyone know what the percentage of lefties is in boxing? Any studies on that? Thanks.

Just did a quick search, and found this:

"Winning edge of boxing lefties
The study did establish that left-handed boxers, or southpaws, had an advantage over right-handed counterparts, probably because left-handers throw punches from different directions and angles. It is also true that, with left-handers accounting for only 10% of boxers, right- handers don't see many of them in the ring. "

Thanks a lot, Dave. Is this coming from the manual? If so, maybe I should give it a try!

This isn't from the manual, I went to ask.co.uk and searched for your question, and this study page came up. No problem, bytheway.
