What does a boxing medical consist of?
At your boxing medical, your doctor might decide to do a chest x-ray, HGV or EKG as well. This is because the medical examination by one of the approved doctors will have you breathe deeply for a couple of minutes and then stand still with legs together while he takes an electrocardiogram (EKG) reading.
This helps make sure that there are no heart problems that could affect boxing performance but also increases security for both the fighters during training sessions and in matches against opponents who may be less than cooperative on their part.
These tests can help identify any potential health issues before they become major concerns so it’s good practice to get checked out at least once every six months!
Blood Test

Boxing medical requirements
Requirements for a boxing medical are not all that hard to do and you can accomplish this by going in three times a year for an examination.
– The first time is when the boxer starts boxing, then they go back six months later before their next fight or training session (if there’s one). After another six months of boxes have passed, they will need to go in again.
You’ll want to bring your form along with any other necessary documents so it doesn’t take too much time during the medical examinations. Make sure you also have something filled out about any injuries or illnesses which may be relevant!
It’s important that boxers stay on top of their health care needs because if anything were to happen while sparring/working out, it could have a negative impact on their boxing career.
