Question
Hi Lian,
Thanks for your support of amatuer boxing.  Does the assistant coach or 2nd in the amatuer fighters corner have to be a certified coach or can it be a amatuer fighter.
                                Thanks Sam

Answer
Hi Sam,
Thanks for the question.
A registered amateur boxer can serve as an assistant in the corner of a boxer from his or her own club. Otherwise, the assistant must be at least 18, and registered as an assistant coach.

I hope this helps, Sam.
Thanks again for writing!
Regards,
Lian
