Question
if i go unattached, what do i have to wear to an amutear fight?
and how many corner men are required?

Answer
Hi Anthony,

Thanks for the question.
It sounds like you already know a bit about the basics of the amateur rules. The uniform requirements are the same whether you're affiliated with a particular gym or not (tank top, trunks with a contrasting waistband, headgear, etc.).

You need at least one certified coach in your corner, and you can have a maximum of two.

I hope this helps, Anthony.
Thanks again for writing!

Regards,
Lian
