Title 12 . Professional and Vocational Regulations
Chapter 6 . Big Game Guides and Transporters
Section 420. Boxing glove requirements for professional boxing

12 AAC 06.420. Boxing glove requirements for professional boxing

(a) The gloves used in a professional boxing contest must be examined by the commission representative and the referee before the bout. If padding in any of the gloves is misplaced or lumpy or if any of the gloves are imperfect, they must be changed before the contest starts. No breaking, roughing, or twisting of gloves is permitted.

(b) The gloves for every main event must be new, furnished by the promoter, and made to fit the hands of the contestant.

(c) If gloves to be used in preliminary bouts have been used before, they must be whole, clean, and in sanitary condition.

(d) The gloves are subject to inspection by the referee or commission representative at any time during the bout. If they do not comply with the requirements of this section, they must be discarded immediately and replaced with gloves that do comply.

(e) Each promoter must have available an extra set of gloves which weigh eight ounces for use in case gloves are broken or otherwise damaged during the course of a bout.

(f) Each professional boxer must wear gloves that weigh eight ounces. However, the commission will, in its discretion, set a different weight for gloves to be used in a championship fight.
