Question
regarding amateur boxing:
When in Golden Glove Tournaments/Olympics, do they provide you with your own equipment? [headgear, gloves, trunks, etc. ]
or will i have to purchase my own?
You will always need to purchase your own headgear, shoes, trunks and tank tops. Any show host, including the local level, supplies the gloves - you don't have to purchase those. Golden Gloves might give you a tank top and trunks if you reach the championships; USA Boxing does.
