Boxing Medical Requirements
It is not too difficult to fulfil the requirements for a boxing medical, and you can do so by scheduling an examination three times a year.
– The first is when the boxer initially begins boxing; if they have training sessions or fights coming up, they return six months later. They will need to reenter after an additional six months of boxing.
In order to expedite the medical examination process, remember to bring your form and any other required paperwork. Make sure you’ve completed everything regarding any relevant illnesses or injuries!
Boxers should be aware of their medical demands because skipping weights or working out could cause an injury that could endanger their fighting career.
The fighter returns after six months to prepare for their next bout or training session (if any). The first time is when the fighter initially starts boxing. They will have to reapply after fighting for a further six months.
