What kit and protective equipment does my child need to box?

Compulsory for all Minors, Schools, Junior and Youth boxers (boys and girls):

• Head guard, red or blue to match the corner, from a sanctioned brand (Sting, Adidas, Wesing, Top Ten, Greenhill or Taishan). It is put on only after entering the ring.
• Gum shield, any colour. If it falls or is knocked out, the boxer gets cautions, then warnings, and is disqualified on the 5th time.
• Gloves, from the same sanctioned brands: 10oz for boxers 65kg and under, 12oz over 65kg. If one boxer is over 65kg, both wear 12oz.
• Groin protector for boys. For girls, a groin or breast protector is optional.
• Hand wraps/bandages: 2.5m to 4.5m long, stretchy cotton, checked by an official before the boxer enters the ring.

Clothing: vest/singlet (no red vest when boxing from the blue corner, and no blue vest from the red corner), shorts from mid-thigh to above the knee, light boots or trainers without spikes or heels, and socks no higher than the knee.

Also:

• Remove all piercings, false nails and false eyelashes.
• Long hair must be secured, with no more than 5cm showing outside the head guard.
• Full skin coverings, including a hijab, are allowed.
