My partner started boxing training, after some time I hear a lisp in his speech, but not with every utterance. Is the lisp caused by boxing training and is it possible to cure this defect?
Practicing any sport has no effect on articulation, if it was previously correct. It is possible that the partner damaged, for example, his teeth during the training, and this could cause a lisp. I would recommend visiting a doctor, preferably an ENT specialist, to check the condition of the oral cavity and if there are any lesions, heal them. If everything is anatomically correct, it is worth going to a speech therapist who will diagnose and remove the speech impediment with appropriate exercises.
