Super Heavyweight - over 91 kg To compete internationally, a boxer must be at least 17 years old and not more than 33 years old. The weigh-in takes place on the first day of competition. In the Championships each bout will consist of four, two - minute rounds. TOP The Referee Referees are the sole authority in the ring and they must maintain control of the match from start to finish, placing the foremost importance on the boxers' safety. Before the match begins, the referee checks each boxer's gloves and attire for suitability.
Referees are all-powerful in the ring.
Any boxer who does not obey immediately will be cautioned, or may even be warned or disqualified. When a boxer commits a foul, the referee usually cautions the boxer and indicates the foul through hand motions. If the referee considers the foul to be serious he may warn or even disqualify the boxer. After three cautions for the same offence, the referee will warn the boxer and if the judges agree with the referee the offended boxer will be awarded two points. If a boxer receives three warnings in a contest he is automatically disqualified.
