Boxing Medical Examination Help and advice

[T-97]

Well the just asked 'Are you long / short sighted and wear glasess/contact lenses?' i simply said no and they held a card at distance and told me the read the letters but they stopped me halfway through and went 'ok thats sufficient' but the hole thing was quite quick considering when i didnt box i had to wait for my mate up town at a gym he goes to and he took ages to do his medical ... i had to turn up with piss sample, answer like 5 questions, a very quick eye test and a quite quick breathaliser for drugs. but i did that embeded in my run ... so i ran about, sat down and recorded my pulse whilst some dude said 'breathe down this'

my mates medical took forever- **** knows what they got him to do...

Beeeend over....

for your medical, the can do a number of things.

Test your eyes, hearing, blood pressure. They take a piss test for drugs...diabeties...plus a whole host of other things.

On the fight day, they are less thorough, you'll be in a long queue of men and boys. They'll listen to your heart and lungs, sometimes they check your fists, ask you if your in good health "colds, coughs, flu?" You say, nope. They listen to your chest whilst you take some deep breaths then say, off you go. If you got stubble, they make you shave soimetimes too.

ok thats it.

On teh day, of the medical, don't lie. If you cant box for your bad eyes then its not meant to be.

Think about this reasonably

Lets say you get caught and something happens with your contact lenses, you cant see the shots coming properly and you just keep getting hit, and maybe badlyh urt. Would that really be worth it?

If you are told you cant box then there is a reason for it, your safety has to come first.

Well if your eyes are fine then you will be allowed to box.
