Boxing Headgear : What is it?
| Boxing headgear resemble helmets and are primarily used to protect boxer’s head and face from cuts, bruises, injuries, and soft tissue damage. Used in both amateur and professional boxing, they are made of tough foam or vinyl paddings.
Boxing headgear must be worn by all non-professional and professional boxers even during sparring or training. The International Federation of MuayThai Association (IFMA) requires its amateur boxers to wear headgear and other protective equipment like chest protectors, elbow pads, and shin pads.
