Frequently Asked Questions

Headguards are a layer of protection for the head of fighters in amateur competition and also during training. The headguard is designed to help protect a fighter against cuts, scrapes and swelling so that a fighter can go into fight night injury free.

In most amateur boxing bouts, wearing headgear is an integral part of the uniform. It is also recommended to wear headgear during sparring sessions to avoid accidental cuts, scrapes and swelling that can impair you come fight night. If you are engaging in light technical sparring then headgear is not necessary, however, we would still recommend wearing a head guard to cover all possibilities.

While the rules on headguards in amateur boxers changed in 2013, all amateur boxers under they are senior boxers have to wear headgear during competitive bouts. Senior boxers are anyone aged between 19 years of age and 40 years of age.

Despite the fact that headgear can reduce the impact of a punch by 40% - 50%, the headgear will not stop the punch from hurting.

The different types of boxing headgear

There are many different styles of headgear for boxing, making it difficult to know which you should choose. Open face headguards are preferred by many, as they do not restrict vision as others might. They do not offer the same protection to your nose as others might, but they are still extremely effective at reducing damage and injuries to your head. They can prevent bruising and cuts, keeping you in the ring for longer.

Another popular type is cheek protector headguards. Boxing is a contact sport, and cheek protection helps to reduce injuries even further. They can make it more challenging to see, but the reduced visibility means that your cheekbones are better protected against hits. If you’d rather protect your nose from hits, bar faced headgear is the perfect solution.

Looking for the best protection? Full face headguards give you everything that you need. They offer full protection for the head and ears, with extra protection for the cheeks and chin. They tend to offer better visibility than bar faced headguards, making them a popular choice.
