Question
my first fight is at the start of the new season in spetember and i was just wandering, can you supply your own AIBA approved headguards and boxing gloves or do u have to use the equipment given to you?
thank you
Hi Dave.
I would recommend you always take your own AIBA approved headgear, gloves and all support equipment. There is no guarentee they will supply equipment, and the equipment they supply may not fit you, which really sucks when your trying to fight with new gloves that haven't molded to your hands.
Good luck with your bout! Hope to see you fighting in "prime time" if that's your dream.
Sincerely,
