Adam Smith says 70-80 per cent of female boxers want to move to 12 three-minute rounds but insists high profile names like Claressa Shields must be vocal in their support to help push the transition over the line.
As it stands, female boxers are allowed to fight for a maximum of 10 two-minute rounds.
That is a full minute shorter and two rounds fewer than their male counterparts.
Smith says there needs to be 'parity' between the men and the women. He also said there 'should be a financial improvement' if female boxers move to 12 three-minute rounds.

Smith spoke exclusively to Sportsmail following the success of the first-ever all-female boxing event at the O2 on October 15.
The event - which was presented by Sky Sports and promoted by BOXXER - became the most-watched women's professional boxing event in history.
Speaking after the fight took place, Smith discussed the possibility of female boxing moving to 12 three-minute rounds.
He said: 'There is definitely scope to do it.
I obviously talk to the female fighters a great deal and the majority - I would say 70-80 per cent - are in favour of moving to three-minute rounds.

'I think they want parity.
I think they see the men fight 12 three-minute rounds. The only thing I can say and I'm not a doctor but maybe [it can't happen] if there is any medical reasons why the male and female body are different.
'There may be some argument that 12 three-minute rounds aren't safe.
I don't know. that is the only reason I can see as an argument against it. And I speak to every female fights. They are for it.
'They won't make for as many fast and furious fights. That's what 10 two-minute round are giving us at the moment but they will make for even more intriguing fights - especially in the top level.'
Smith went on to explain how he had spoken to Robert Smith at the British Boxing Board of Control.
He said the BBBofC were on board with the idea of moving to 12 three-minute rounds.

However, he said it was 'ultimately up to what the women want' and insisted high-profile athletes like Sheilds must speak up to help push the transition over the line.
Smith said: 'It is about moving towards parity.
If we can move to 12 3-minute rounds and everyone is attrazioni in città favour I think it would be great.
'I have spoken to Robert Smith at the British Boxing board and they are very much in favour. It is up to what the women want ultimately, but there are governing bodies.
