Question
Is the rule that you can use soft contact lenses in AIBA applicable also in professional boxing? Thanks.

Answer
Hi Wolf,
Thanks for the question.
I'm not aware of any restrictions on the use of soft contact lenses in professional bouts. I know Nevada has allowed them; if you're wondering about the rules in a specific state (remember, there is no national boxing commission with universal rules), then you might want to contact that state's athletic /boxing commission and inquire directly.

Thanks again for writing, Wolf!

Regards,
Lian

I can answer questions regarding rules for both pro and amateur boxing; upcoming bouts; fight analysis/predictions; various other questions. I am an experienced amateur boxing official with USA Boxing (14 years) and I have completed a yearlong professional officials` clinic with the California State Athletic Commission.
