Question
Hello.I need to know if people who have had lasik surgery are allowed to box professionaly? Do you know of any boxers that have had lasik surgery?Thanx in advance!!!
Hi Joe,
Thanks for the question.
I'm not aware of any restrictions for boxers who have had lasik surgery. In fact, even boxers who have had retinal surgery can remain active as long as they pass the pre-bout physical.
I hope this helps, Joe.
Thanks again for writing!
Regards,
Lian
