Question
do you know the regulations for the amature boxing trunks, does it have to be below or above the knee?
Hi Riley,
Thanks for the question.
The USA Boxing rulebook states: "Boxers must wear a pair of loose-fitting trunks that provide a contrasting colored waistline and reaches halfway down the thigh, no lower than the knees."
I hope that helps, Riley.
Thanks again for writing!
Regards,
Lian
