Boxer beats tot to death

A MISSISSIPPI boxer has beaten his three-year-old daughter to death because she couldn’t answer some maths questions correctly, police say.

Joshua Salovich, 25, has been charged with murder after Bailey Salovich was taken to an emergency clinic with bruises and cuts to her body, and a wound to her head.

Detectives said Salovich beat the girl with a bamboo rod, a cellphone cord and his hands.

The father reportedly admitted he had “punished” his daughter for failing to correctly answer some math questions.
