Corrections

In the last issue, there was a typo in the page two article on Competition Safety. In paragraph 6, the reference to suspension of a medical card should have referred to a "knockout" not "knockdown".

Also in last issue, we reported that the SA ABL and the SA Amateur Boxing Association were going to operate as SA Boxing from January. We understand this proposal has been delayed.

Changes to bouts

The International Amateur Boxing Association have reduced their international bouts from 5 rounds of 2 minutes, to 4 rounds of 2 minutes, as at 1st January this year. NSWABA Arthur Tunstall has indicated that this change will be adopted in title bouts here.

Boxer registration
